Basketball refs do a lot of reviews, but often times they are limited to one soecific aspect of a play. For example, a player gets a rebound and turns to pass to a team mate for a fast break. The rebounder’s elbows are bent and an opponent is seemingly knocked to the floor by a swinging elbow and the ref calls a foul. Play is stopped while the refs review the play to see if the opponent was hit in the face because he or she snapped their head back to sell the flop.  The review from every angle clearly shows that the rebounder’s elbow didn’t contact the opponent at all. The foul is not upgraded, but the original foul call is not reversed and nothing happens to the flopper. The game is already stopped so reversing the original foul call would not delay the game. The foul should be reversed and the flopper should be assessed with a technical foul for causing the delay of game. G** forbid a referee’s foul call gets reversed. I’m not saying every disputed call get reviewed, but when the clock is stopped for a review, everything should be considered open for reversal.
