I haven't done it anywhere resembling half of a semi-professional level, so take it with a grain of salt. But I've officiated both basketball and baseball, not the other two sports though. I think baseball is harder, but you're right, basketball is very difficult to officiate when the play is in the lane. It's easy to look incompetent if 5 guys are bunched in there hacking each other. But at least you have other officials to help bail you out. In baseball most of the time a call comes down to you and you alone.
