I believe the point the original partner was trying to make is a very valid one, and it has nothing to do with what coaches think about me...if the foul discrepancy is large, that gives the coach something to sink his/her teeth into...that's not a good thing...yes, we all know it happens from time to time, but when two fairly evenly matched teams are playing, and the foul count is more than 5 off in the first half - it is a good time to "find" something on the other team...we don't make anything up, we don't ignore the other team, but we find something to call on the team with no fouls - it is the same situation when I have called three fouls in a row on white, a play clearly in my "area" happens, we have a double whistle for another foul on white - I tell my partner to take it...it's not chickening out - it's good game management...
