We did consider your post. It was ridiculous. What stats would you publish anyway? How about percentage of correct calls? Or non-calls - that would be impossible to determine. Who would judge - coaches, players or the media?
Do you really think that if I called a game and someone kept track and published how many fouls a team committed that I happened to identify (which is what a foul call really is), that I would care and/or it would change the way I called a game?
Only if there was a evaluation by a panel of referees that I respected, would there even be a consideration by me.
I've watched NBA basketball for over 35 years. I would say that about 10% of the large number of announcers I have heard are consistently right in their assessment of the calls made by NBA officials. Replay has proven time and time again that those refs are as good as you can expect from humans.
