Well I don't think this should apply because the ref was RIGHT THERE in the middle of the action.
Having that said, us as viewers have a better look usually as to what happens because the situation is different. We watching TV or sitting in a seat in the stadium/arena.
They're in live play looking at a hundred different things going on on one time. How many refs are there in an NFL crew, 7? So I know that each one has their own job to do. I mean you all know the saying that holding occurs on just about every play, its just whether you do it so much and it's obvious to where you get cuaght. But having to make judgement calls in live play is harder than most people think.
