I do track fouls.

I only track fouls to know who and when will be in the bonus. I do not care who has more fouls and change what I call based on the foul difference. I think officials should know what the foul count is, but that is so you know you are doing the right thing. If a team sits in a zone defense all day and they have very few fouls that is to be expected. If a team is shooting jump shots all game long, they are not going to get fouled either. That is usually my response to a coach that tries to suggest something is wrong because they have fouled more times (call it both ways comments). I really couldn't care less what coaches ultimately think. I am not going to change to please them. It is their job to adjust. It is our job to call our game.

Peace
