There is always this tremendous supposed importance of seconds and tenths of a second in the last 2 minutes where after almost every play the refs have to go to the monitor to check things which then completely ruins the flow of the game and it usually takes 10 minutes to play the final 2 minutes. Why isn't the other 38 minutes of the game time not as important. Such as after a made basket the ball can sit on the floor while 10 seconds run off the clock before the refs get the ball to the inbounding player or when the team making the basket knocks the ball away for 4-8 seconds, etc. Same thing relating to who the ball went out of bounds off of. It isn't important to look at it if not in the last 2 minutes seems to me if the wrong team was awarded the ball and the other tea scores that sure affects the outcome of the game. My best one is when the announcers that was a good non call or refs say they didn't call a foul because it didn't affect the game. Then why have rules if they aren't followed all the time. Who gets to decide when it is important enough?
One last thing. Why not have a fourth official who is in charge of the timing, shot clock violations, andwhether shots count at the buzzer so that the on court refs don't have to worry about timing issues
