Officiating a 40-0 game or a championship game, there are three fouls that need to be called.
A foul that impacts the play... one team gaining an advantage over the other.
A safety foul... jeopardizing player safety.
A game management foul... jeopardizing officials control of the game.
If a foul happens (as written in the rule book) thats not one of the three, a warning might be the appropriate decision. Letting the player know you saw the foul, so he doesnt think youre unaware of it, I think is an appropriate way to handle them.
I would say, how an official enforces the three types of fouls, relative to the game... a 40-0 or a championship game will be a measurement of how successful the game is officiated.
