Yea, but I never call it an X unless the foul itself warrants it. I know we're supposed to if there are verbal instructions to foul, but if the kid makes an honest attempt to go for the ball, or tries to set a screen, I'll call it just a foul.

The hardest ones are when the "strategic" foul isn't really hard enough to call, but you know that if you don't call it, the next one will be a tackle. That frustrates the heck out of me.
