I didn't shy away from contact, so no biggee, but stuff does hurt, even if others may think you're big enough and strong enough to handle it.

Here's the skinny, at least in my book, if you would have called a charge with a smaller defender, then you should call it when it involves a larger defender, too.
I concur, Dan74.
Repeated contact with a Big Guy can take a toll. It can wear a guy out or make his body involuntarily flinch at potential contact. It can take a mental toll on his shot.
Unlike others, I am continually looking for ways to not disadvantage "size".
