Exactly how many lawsuits have actually happened to any officials for any reason? I'm guessing its very rare.

In 15+ years I have heard of 1. And it was because the official pushed a kid.

There are more and more of these, but it is not for not calling a foul. It is usually for some negligence of some kind in the accusation for much bigger things. Like a facility issue or something involving safety of something worn or against the rules. But this is not just about the official, it is about others involved and the official might be just one of the plaintiffs out of a few others. Still very rare overall.
