You're NEVER gonna make everybody happy, you're NEVER going to have perfect officiating, or coaching or playing. Coaches get reviewed and if they don't perform, are sent packing. Players get reviewed by coached and if they don't perform, probably never or seldom see the floor or the court or the field. Officials get yelled at by the fans and coaches but on this level aren't really subject to much in the way of review. That's the problem, that and some don't really give a care or couldn't take off their bias glasses if their lives depended on it. I don't wanna group them all because there are some who constantly strive to get better or feel bad if they blow calls. It's just like anything else, there are coaches who feel bad if they screw up a decision, there are players who feel bad if they make a bad play or execute horribly. Then there are the others who at the end of the day, don't care if they win or lose as long as they were seen.
Kids don't get paid. Coaches, truthfully, are generally paid almost negative for the hours of time they have to be involved (or most, I guess some probably don't give anything but the bare minimum), the ones who are paid the most per time they devote, are officials and no question, they deserve a good chunk of change for what they have to put up with. That being said, if more really were reviewed and subject to getting good assignments or no assignments on performance, you would probably seldom here anything about the lack of concern. Oh sure, some are going to complain no matter what happens. My dad would be one of them *lol* I can watch something with him and he'll notice the 2 bad calls the team we support got, but forget the 10 good calls
I don't know why it seems like basketball is the worst, be it the speed. Be it there are less players on the court so all the questionable things are more noticeable or what, but it is hugely noticeable.
