If you're in a 8-1 situation and the team with 1 just did that. Now they got 2 team fouls. If you're working with a guy that you don't know and he is calling it tight, or working with a homer. You just got to step up and call the game tight yourself to remain consistent at both ends. It's not about calling fouls based on the team foul count. It's about being consistent. What's the best way to determine if you're being consistent based on fouls. Team foul count.
This must be another one of those unspoken/unwritten rules. I'm not affair to tell you the truth because these jackals out here want you to believe that calling fouls by the foul count doesn't happen. Let me tell you it happens and every experienced official out there checks that foul count thru-out the game and adjusts to it if they have too. Everybody does it, they're just never going to admit it in public. In my games, when I'm working with an experienced partner, it's never an issue because we are right there anyway.
One of the best comments I heard was a winning coach telling a losing coach in one of my games I wasn't too proud of. He said, hey, they where not calling it on either sides. They weren't giving you any foul calls and we weren't getting any foul calls either. They were consistent thru-out the whole game.

I call on the moderators to find this guy's registration info, and unmask him! He's one of us in disguise!! I vote for Chuck. It's gone to his head!! He's back trying to show us all what not to do. And he'd deliberately made the English so bad that no one would suspect.
Yup, I like it. The Chuck rises again.
