Could Big Ten Refs Survive Scrutiny Under The NBA Two Minute Report Rule?

NBA refs don't get any real repercussions for mistakes they make, don't see why B1G refs would be any different. Also I realize that that is the official release from the refs, and I'm sitting my fat ass on the couch watching the replays, but the review of these seem off to me. The CNC on Maxey's push off really looks like it should be a foul and Hart initiating lower body contact is a tight call but looks like Hart makes marginal contact and Maxey tries to sell it. The jersey pull is obvious but I believe that same no-call was the exact opposite earlier in the game, Maxey on Brunson.
 
I don't know if the bad NBA officiating is as bad as the NHL. In the NBA they let stuff go near the end to 'let the players decide the game'. Which sucks. Following the rules would be 'letting players decide the game'.
But in the NHL, it's called like that the entire game in the playoffs, much more thuggery allowed, and seems to make it totally different than regular season.
