Another point of view. Let's look at it from the team that is getting blown out.

I also submit that the team getting beat is not really wanting to have the game prolonged a great deal by giving them the benefit of the doubt on lessor contact fouls. So to a point it is alright to modify call selection, but also let's not have a parade to FT line so they can feel a like the ref's weren't beating them too.

The fact is that both coaches are likely to understand what is happening, but at the same time they both want the game to end. Winning coach wants to rest their stars, and leave without injury. Losing team wants to put it behind and get ready for the next one. No one likes being on the end of a blowout, so why prolong the result/game.
