There is randomness in every effort. I think of sports officials as simply one more element of the game like a bad bounce or a slippery surface. In any sort of game, in any sport, both teams need to deal with the same imperfect officiating.

I’m not a fan of either of these teams and have no dog in this fight. A blown call is a bad break but a careful watcher will find at least one bad call in almost every game. Boxing refs do a great job and basketball refs are a close second. I think the bigger the venue the more blown calls occur.

That’s the way the ball bounces.
