That doesn't make any sense at all. How can you possibly be "fair" and still protect stars?

I also disagree completely with what you are trying to get at. It may be an unwritten NBA philosophy, but the NBA is entertainment, not basketball. That philosophy has no place at all imo at the amateur level. And "how far you will go" will depend on how good an official you are, not any philosophy like protecting certain players. You ain't gonna go too far if you're protecting one team's star to the detriment of the other team. The coach of that other team is gonna be screaming for your head. As well he should be.
