There was an interview with Brandon Lang..a handicapper. He gave this scenario: Knicks are up by 4 with 10 seconds to play, and they have the ball, just dribbling out the clock. But the point spread is 5. A defender hand checks the dribbler. The referee calls the hand check foul, sending the Knick to the line for 2 free throws. He makes them both....the Knicks beat the spread, and the referee gets an attaboy for calling the foul, which was a point of emphasis....

That is how you take care of the point spread, AND be graded above average as a referee.
