Or the number of fouls.
We had a second-half foul fest last night. Team down started fouling with about 6 minutes left. First two times down the floor I let play go a little longer than usual, trying to let the ball handler work through some contact and not blowing the foul until necessary. Then it became obvious the defense was trying to foul and I started calling it earlier. I've learned that when a team wants to foul you should oblige or they'll start fouling harder in order to get to your threshold.
Good luck with your season.
