As a parent (and a stickler for sporting rules, in general), I would rather see a closely called game.
If my child was playing, and the refs let the game get rough, I would be none too happy if my child (or any child for that matter) got hurt. Rough play is only a part of the game if the officials let it become part of the game.
As a stickler for the rules, I think calling closely is good for the game, because it inevitably forces the player to develop solid basketball skills.
