So according to you they are not being consistent because they have had to change the way the game needs to be called.

What if a team is fouling to get back into the game? You are definitely not calling the same contact late as you did early. We are charged with judging contact within the context of the game at that particular moment.
Where did I say anything at all like that?

You're talking about different circumstances and situations completely.

Answer me this one.....after you "tighten up", is it then OK to "loosen up" on the very last play of the game? Or should you stay "tightened up"?
