I debated him a little on this issue, because my theory is that good mechanics will help convince player/coach that the correct call was made. Also, here is another silly question but do you guys prefer to be called refs or officials?

Official is an all encompassing term...as technically speaking, in a NFHS/NCAA game there's a referee and 1/2 umpires and in an NBA game, there's the crew chief and the two referees.
In reality, it doesn't matter.
