The flip side of that method is that you are putting the team with the ball at a disadvantage by calling small contact a foul, stopping the clock, and forcing them to shoot FTs. The team who is ahead is passing the ball around and trying to AVOID being fouled so that the clock will continue to run and you advocate the referee coming in and helping the defense stop that clock!?!?
As well-intentioned as your philosophy is, it sounds like you are helping the team that is behind.
