Here's what you do.

I'm working a state semi-final game, 5 years ago at ECU's Minges Colesium. Team A is down 5 and the fouls are 4-0 in the opponent's favor entering the second quarter. I'm in the slot in front of Coach A.

"The fouls are 4-0 in their favor."

"I know, coach. They haven't fouled anyone yet."

"Good point."

If the fouls are out of balance, I'm not going hunting. But at the same time, I'm going to be aware so that I don't mistakenly pass on one that should be called.
