The reason I think baseball is a lot easier is you are looking for something at a moment in time and know when the moment is coming. Pitch across plate, tag before bag. In basketball something can happen at any moment anywhere on the court. Hockey players are more spread out and there's no...

Basketball BY FAR the hardest sport to officiate.
