" Selling the call"

Although I agree with much of what you said about selling a call (I don't feel you should need to do this - yeah, I know all the arguements in favor - we've discussed this before). But I must take issue with your comment above.

How can you state that the referees determined the outcome of the game if all they might have done was get players and fans excited. Notice you didn't say their calls were wrong, just "sold".

I'll bet none of the officials missed any shots, committed any turnovers or didn't block out on the boards during the entire game.
