This doesn't mean that you're making anything up. It just means that with those borderline calls, you're calling stuff that you might not call in a game where the skill level is closer.

Juulie - don't you think this can be construed as penalizing team A for having superior skills? What happened to the theory of "if a foul is a foul at the beginning, it's a foul at the end - if it isn't, then it isn't"?

That's just it, it's a theory. All theories sound great in abstract, but few hold up as well in practice.
I guess, part way through a game, none of us have ever conversed with our partner(s) and decided to "tighten" it up? I mean, we were not calling some of that a foul at the beginning of the game, but
NOW the game dictates it needs to be one.
