Are refs afraid to make tough calls?

If they didn't have 5 inside the boundary lines when play began, they would play with what they had, or suffer the illegal sub T.

I've handed the ball to the offense when the defense wasn't out yet. I didn't T them for the last player coming onto the floor after the ball was inbounded. The easy lay-up was punishment enough, I thought.
