I'm with Rut on this one. Yes, 99 times out of 100, the disparity is just because of how the teams are playing - in this case, knowing about it might let me address the coach if he complains about it and might keep my crew out of trouble. Also, I don't have a problem with looking at my calls and wondering if there IS something I'm missing. I'm not going to invent or ignore fouls, but maybe I've been stuck on one end of the court for a while and I'm just not getting good angles that night. Knowing about that in advance can help me adjust and make better calls.
