The point of a referee or if you want a judge in another areas of life, is that they are supposed to be above such potential bias to make correct/fair decisions based on one set of rules and regulations. A judge isn´t supposed to make decisions based on how much money or fame a person has, but whether they are guilty or innocent. So if a person that cannot upload THE MAIN REQUIREMENT of their job, then they should be removed from those positions.
If they are not removed, then the NBA is clearly fine with their interpretation of the rules. Therefore any new referee will automatically assume that´s how he is supposed to apply the rules, if he wants to advance his career in the NBA.
