One other comment I would like to make is that too many times during my career I have seen where coaches do not tell their kids to stop fouling at the end of a game when there is no longer a legitimate chance to win so the fouls get to be "harder" fouls and before you know it someone is mad. I think that some coaches do not use common sense and "call the dogs off" and this is a major contributing factor for some pretty ugly situations that come at the end of a game and if we start to call intentional fouls they complain about that! It is not the best situation. I even saw a coach start to foul in the 2nd quarter of a district tournament because he got way behind early in the game and the officials had to call 70+ fouls before this nonsense ended. It made absolutely no sense. Thank heaven it was not my rotation to work and I only had to watch this travesty of the game. This kind of play can only lead to a bad situation for all that are involved.
