Offensive Tactics Vary From Game To Game ...

Because tactics, especially offensive tactics, vary from game to game.

Some are easy for me: no play on the ball, defense grabs the jersey, pushes from behind, or bear hugs the offensive player, almost always automatic intentional foul for me. The defensive side is easy to officiate.

The hardest part for me is figuring out what the offensive team (ahead late in the game) wants to do. Some want to shoot free throws (probably good free throw shooting teams), and others don't want the clock to stop (they want to play keep away). It's easy after the first foul in the "chess game" is charged, and one knows what the offensive team wants to do, but I hate being surprised on the first move.
