In basketball, 5 players on the team play the majority of the game. Most games are high scoring, but fairly close. So percentage-wise, missing 2-3 shots isn't that noticeable. If you pay off 1 or 2 players to miss 1-2 easy shots a game, you'll usually get the result you want.<br /><br />In hockey, you've got 20 player teams.

There's two referees, and the back referee should be able to see the entire play as it's happening, while the front ref is watching the play on the puck.
