The 2004-2005 was my first season as a high school Hoops Official. I've done other sports for years, so Im not exactly a rookie to officiating. During the season, my partner and I were critiqued on a game and were told that we needed to keep the difference in team fouls in mind when we make our calls. I didn't say anything to this, but I didnt agree, since the game was VERY close, and we werent calling the game tight.. After giving us our critique, the officials went out to tdo the varsity game while we watched. They looked good, but during their halftime talk, they mentioned several players and the number of fouls that they had. One of the officials even mentioned NOT calling a fould because it would have been the 3rd on a particular player. This struck me as inappropriate, and pretty much goes against how I feel I should officiate a game. My Question is...am I wrong in thinking that they were off base by tracking individual player fouls?
