Rick Pitino was interviewed this morning and had an interesting take. He said that back in the day officials were expected to use judgement and help create a flow of the game. For example if it was getting physical they started calling anything and everything to calm the game down, and if the game was free flowing both sides were committing the little ticky-tack fouls here and there the ref's just let it go.

He said that today the officials are much more by-the-book. If players commit 200 fouls the refs will call 200 fouls, regardless of whether or not each one of those fouls impacted the situation or the game.

I don't know if that's actually true or not, but it's an interesting thought. The replay generation has exactly what it's asked for basically.
