This is the part that I have a hard time with. I've seen games where the team with the ball is playing keep away, and all they're getting is minor taps. Stuff that would never be called at anyother time of the game. Why call it now? It seems to me it puts the team with the ball at a disadvantage that isn't intended by the rules. If the defense can't get close enough to the ball to get a good solid, but not intentional foul, why swing things their way?
