To be honest I am in the middle...the even em up school learned their philosophy at D-1 camps and it goes like this. You don't pass on obvious calls for the team "up" in the foul count, however if there is a judgement call try and call the team "behind" in the foul count. Don't pick big plays, if the team "behind" in the count is on defense, and there is a hand check, that maybe you pass on usually, go ahead and get it, all it does is give the same team the ball back, and the game goes much smoother from a game management perspective.

I don't see myself being able to do this. At this point I am doing well to remember which team is going which direction. I'm looking for actions, not who is making the action.
On the funny side, I wrote the original post yesterday afternoon. Last night I had a game. At the half the coach of one team said as he was leaving the floor, "You've called 9 fouls on us and 2 on them! 9 to 2!" I thought it funny that it should be the same number I used hypothetically in my post.
Given that his team was 25 points behind as well, I would think it would be better for him to look at his coaching than our calling. LOL
