"I think it can. Because often times it is acceptable to blow the whistle on little to no contact in Girl's games. If you are doing Boy's games, you have to be more deliberate in your calls. Yes, anticipating the play can be a factor, but if you are expected to blow the whistle quickly all the time, you tend to anticipate things."
J-Rut,
I am going to dissagree with you also. When is it acceptable to have a whistle with no contact at all? (I am assuming that you are talking about on a foul).
I believe that you should always anticipate the play; but you should never anticipate a foul or violation.
Anticipating the play will help you get into the best possition that you can get to before the action occures in your area.
No matter what type ( boy's or Girl's) game you are working amd no matter what level the game is I believe that one needs to see the whole play and never anticiapate a foul, violation or any other type of whistle.
