It's like driving a car. You don't tell a new driver to drive a car and never look at the gas gauge. Just drive the car, don't worry about the gas guage, it will take care of itself. How does that sound?

Two things:
1) 50% + 50% + ?% = 100%. Ladies and gentlemen, Yogi Berra is in the building!!!
2) If you drive a car and
ONLY look at the gas gauge, you will crash!!!!! Foul counts don't determine whether or not you are calling an even game, only the game film can determine that. If I have a team pressing full court, and one sitting in a passive 2-3 zone, it is
almost impossible for the foul counts to be even, unless the pressing team is playing PERFECT defense. Pressing teams with aggressive trapping will
almost always foul more than their opponents, unless their opponents apply the same type of pressure. Pressing players get tired more quickly, and then starts the sloppy defense with the hands instead of moving their feet.
This is something you would pick up if you stick around the game of basketball for a while, OLD F.. I mean School.
