Unfortunatly thats very true. One time I sat near courtside and I realized something - you can't see through players, they can be quit an obstruction. From the TV vantage point you get the overhead view but the refs on the court can't see everything so they must just give the more known player the benefit of doubt in a call or non-call when they did not have a clear view. It could just be as simple as that.
At least Stucky made the rookie 2nd team so thats at least some recognition. Maybe not enough to get the obscured call on Parker but it should be enough against unknown bench player A.
