I think there are many that feel "loosen up on the calls" means the same as "let's relax and not call as much". Think of it from a player's perspective - just because the game's decided do you run your offensive sets a little slower? Do you make your cuts a little less sharp? Do you decide not to play hard anymore, because, after all, the game's over? I would think not. And that's the same attitude we need to take as officials. If anything, I've found because the talent level has lowered somewhat the game becomes a little harder to officiate. Therefore we need to be just as sharp, if not more so, than at the beginning. So, call it the same.
