When I think about it, it occurred to me that by calling the type of contact that I called, I was in fact buying the defense a little more time (even if they wanted the foul).

This seems to me like an important point. When they're just barely fouling, and not really getting the job done, and then the offensive coach starts screaming about not calling the fouls, I say, "Coach, do you want to stop the clock and give them the ball?" Then like you say, if they give the body-slam, it's capital X time.

Most good coaches have no problem stopping the clock, that means they get to shoot FTs or will soon enough. As for letting the small "strategic" fouls go & waiting for the body slam, well, let's just say we disagree.
