I think I was missing your point. You are not talking about favoring one team over the other, you're saying that we are favoring a player on team A over another player on team A. Is that correct?

If so, then I definitely agree with you. We are exhibiting all the characteristics of favoritism, which is often exhibited in NBA. We are not in the NBA (judging by the meager pay we attract), so we should not call it like NBA refs do.

BUT, there are times where the knowlege of which player has 4 fouls is useful (to me). One such situation is the multiple foul where both players make contact almost simultaneously. I will give the foul to the player not in foul trouble or not the team's best player. If that makes me a bad ref, then sue me (since I have nothing, you will get nothing).
