I wish I could see  some path towards consensus on the topic of fouls but my experiences tell me there is none.

In years past I often took to posting post game vids of "controversial" or "key" moments from the most recent game.   The vids usually were  comprised of real time video, multiple angle replays in slo-motion or even frame by frame.   All of these resulted in a broad range of responses not only in what the consequences should be based on the understanding of the ruled but also broad disagreement on what they actually saw in the video.   And people expect 100% accurate results from officials viewing the game in real time without any preparation or expectation as to what was about to happen in front of them (while running up and down the floor).

Don't get me wrong I see many calls that I feel are wrong and I am flabbergasted that the call went that way.    But, I also realize that no game can be called 100% perfectly.     Better training? Sure.  Higher qualified Refs (with better pay)?  Sure.   But the game is too fast and the rules are too mushy for everyone to be happy.

It's a problem that I just don't see being solved in my lifetime.   Bummer.
