Would you say hockey is the hardest most subjective sport to ref?
Baseball ... its balls and strikes as the only subjective decision and umps can be inconsistent with their zone but the subjective decision making is really limited to that one aspect of the game.
Basketball .. I could see this being a lot like hockey. Lots of moving players, touch fouls very subjective, continuous team play sport and while fouls can result in 2 FTs, Id say 2 min penalty is a bigger impact on the game outcome than 2 FTs.
Football .. its a fast game, lots of allowed contact and they could call a hold on every snap honestly. But its not a continuous flow game, its a fast crazy 3-5 seconds of play then whistle and 30 seconds to reset. Also refs are in a better position bc theres more of them and they are each responsible for very specific aspects of game. But a big PI call or bogus roughing the passer to extend a drive and that would have a huge impact on the final outcome of the game.
I'd say it's either Baseball or Hockey as the toughest. Baseball there are so many close calls in any game. Hockey is incredibly fast.
Football you have like 10 officials on the field and they replay just about every close call. Basketball I don't see being very difficult really.
