I cannot tell you how many games my players have gotten hammered by teams that were losing and refs were passing on calls against a team getting blown out. It does happen, it is ugly, and I have had a couple of people get hurt that way. That is the extreme downside of changing the way you call the game.

No one has said they will pass on obvious fouls,what WAS said was:
1.Call more ticky-tack fouls on a team way up that continued to press.
2.If a violation or block/charge was close it was going in favor of the team getting blown out.
From what I've seen over the years,players on the winning team get fouled hard when they keep pressing and attacking,
because the team behind gets frustrated.That situation gets
defused if the team getting blown out gets a break,here or there,from the officials.
It is about game management,it is not cheating,it is not
altering,it is controlling a game that could get ugly.
