Some officials have more experience & better judgment than others.

Alotta fanboy talk in that statement! If the defense gets a block clean up top & then crashes into a jump shooter, I agree.
Two players going up & meeting in the middle is not the same play.

Just like the old tv show, That's Impossible! Check that, Thats Incredible... but still impossible.
