In participating & covering sports for more than 4 decades, I have seen so many changes in the talent level of the athletes, coaching styles and the decline of officiating!!!
In football, it is about the safety of the players, the rules are changed to protect them and thus far the game is played at it's highest level from the NFL, College and High School!!! Referees abide by these rule changes and use their knowledge and common sense to implement them!!!
Basketball, on the other hand has changed, the talents of players have surpassed the rules and the officials ability to make calls per rules
