I also believe the refs are "shading" calls to keep games tight. I think the league knows we see it, but will supply  "analysts" to tell us we didn't see what we CLEARLY saw, or tell us our understanding of the rules is not sophisticated enough to grasp the situation. I don't think they care if we're distressed, as long as we're watching and discussing their officiating garbage.One other quick point, as I said, I was a Div 1 collegiate ref, and a high school ref in 2 sports. I ALWAYS hated that "swallow their whistle" crap! If it's a foul in the first 2 minutes, it's a foul in the last 2 minutes. The argument is, don't determine the outcome, but by permitting fouls, YOU'RE INFLUENCING THE OUTCOME!</blockquote>
