The game will never end. And there would be just as many arguments over the interpretation of the rules concerning each event.

That’s why the structure of the coach’s challenge for certain plays works in a way, right?
Both teams have eyes on many views upstairs, they can interject if they deem it worth prolonging the game, and there are consequences for being wrong.
It works in a sense.
But the issue people seem to have are with consistency of penalty enforcement.
Not sure what to do.
Can’t call everything. It’d be an unwatchable parade to the box.
Can’t review every call, it would interrupt the flow too much.
Some players are still going to try to fool the refs for their own team’s advantage. And will get away with it. Can’t sully the league’s image by publicizing the offenders, advertising themselves as a league of cheaters.
