Indeed, consistency is important, not only for each official on each end, but also consistency as a crew, and hopefully crew consistency happens more often than not.
But then we get into the coaches' consistency in evaluation of contact. Does a two foot-pound foul count the same on each end of the court in the coaches' minds ? Dunno, but probably not.
If a coach says we are inconsistent, do we believe it, weigh it, or ignore it ?
