One other cautionary note - be certain it is without a doubt a blowout. While you may be quicker to become more flexible at lower levels, you don't want to let a high school team back into a game by favoring them. If you loosen the calls, do it both ways (in general), unless you have such a clear disparity that the game is a joke. I watched a tournament game with two excellent teams, where one team was down 19 in the 3rd quarter and came back to win. (They were not helped by the refs favoring them because hey were behind) With a few three point shots by the losing team and some poor foul shooting by the leading team, anything less than 25 is achievable in a half.
