What are you suggesting, exactly? What are you prepared to do to "keep the stars in the game"?
Nobody can keep stars in the game if the stars want to beat the crap out of each other. You can't ignore fouls or rough play. You can't ignore
obvious contact that gives an advantage.
If there are two players in the vicinity of the foul AND you could call the foul on either one of them AND you know that one of them has 3 fouls, then I can see giving it to the other one.
But I'm not ignoring an obvious foul by the big guy just because he has 3 fouls.
