How about you teach your players to do things right in the first place and then you won't have to worry about how a crew calls a game? Teach them to play defense, set their screens, get rebounding position, etc, the way the rules dictate - then you won't have to worry about it during the game...and teach them to play correctly no matter what the other team or officials are doing or calling...that way there is no "preparing" for a next crew - just play the game.

Rocky, that was my first thought, too. However, I'm sure there's a variance on how much contact is allowed before a foul is called between officials. We may not always see it because the vast majority of games we see are the ones we're working. It's great to teach your kids to play defense without fouling, and to play through contact, but….
If the officials are allowing a bit more contact, and a team doesn't adjust defensively, they're putting themselves at a disadvantage by not pushing the limits of what's being allowed during that game.
