Yes and whether you like it or not someone is going to complain about that foul total in that situation. They always do and always will. And if you continue to call fouls and the foul total becomes 15-1 and you called everything you were supposed to and did not miss anything you were not supposed to, then you are doing your job. It is no different than if you have a fight and tempers are running high, you make sure you get everything you can because you might want to keep other things in check so you do not have another fight. I do not know about you, but I officiate that way all the time and most of the officials I work with have a similar position. Hey, if you just call the game in a bubble and hope that nothing happens, that is your right to do so.

Peace
