The fact that someone likes an official and gives them a hundred games unfortunately doesn't mean their officiating is on point.

One time I was at a camp and a NBA official was breaking down tape of a final four game. One official was doing a good job and is in the NBA now. One of the other officials was stinking it up. The person breaking down the tape was trying to train us. He didn't roll over and say all the calls were right because the officials were considered "big dogs" or worked a ton if games. He was looking at mechanics, positioning, call selection, courage, etc. I hate seeing officials jump around too, but I think I would take an official who jumps around with the courage to make tough calls.

I love my iPhone.
I know the game to which you are referring and I've kinda heard the same evaluation from a different source.
