Short answer is "no". I specifically say that we want to keep the post play under control. If that means we have a few extra whistles early on, so be it.
Especially "no" to the question about only getting "big fouls", if you mean "hard fouls" or extra-physical play. Officiating that way, I think, would lead to really rough play and nobody wants to see that.
Call a normal game according to whether the player gained an illegal advantage with the contact, or whether the contact was simply too rough (even without an advantage).
Just my opinion, but I really think if you ONLY get the big stuff, you're in for more big stuff than you'd like.
