Exactly! I worked with an official several times last season & they were really crisp & clean while reporting fouls to the table (I must admit I took a bit of their reporting style and incorporated into my game) but the call selections got them ripped after a few of the games.

ie: Several "over the back" calls where the defense obtained the rebound & the contact didn't put the rebounder at a disadvantage, but the call was continuously made... sometimes killing the fast break opportunity. Plus, when working in a 3 person system the L should trust the T & slot to make those calls.

The official couldn't comprehend the fact that contact doesn't equal a foul, the result of the contact is what makes it a foul. I guess that's a good example of call selection outweighing table reporting.
Basically, who cares how well you look when reporting a bad call.
