I think it depends on the game. If you've got a blowout and a team is getting visibly frustrated, I don't think it hurts to give them the benefit of the doubt on some calls that really don't have any bearing on the outcome of the game, especially if doing so helps ease the tension and better manage the game. I'm not talking about hunting for stuff, just maybe if you have a minor bump on a shot or something that you could pass on, and probably would in a tight game, it may be better for the game to make that call. I think the best way of putting it is quality of calls, calls that take into account the situation in the game.
