I can't agree with that philosophy. As an official, sometimes you
have to be the outcome of the game.
Just call the game consistently and evenly from beginning to end, and no one will ever have any real complaints with you. Swallowing your whistle at the end because you don't want to be the "outcome of the game" is just wrong imo, if that is what you are referring to. If you ignore a righteous foul or violation at the end of a game by trying to rationalize that you didn't want to affect the outcome, then you really
are affecting the outcome by screwing the team that didn't commit that foul or violation.
Jmo.....
