Here in Arizona,we have a program called Pursuing Victory
With Honor.Under that program we,as official,are expected to encourage and promote good sportsmanship and to penalize all cases of poor sportsmanship.
In an ideal world,coaches would not run up the score,but we don't live in an ideal world.I'm not going to start
making things up,but contact by the pressing team will
be a foul,whether it hinders or not,in that situation.I'll
ticky-tack them to death,because I don't view it as a proper way to teach your team about winning with honor.
It also can cause fights,hard fouls in retaliation and coaches screaming at each other during games none of which is appropriate.
