Who cares if team A is playing zone and team B is settling for jumpers, while team B is pressing full court and handchecking and reaching at every turn.

Call it both ways.

Who cares if team A is clearly more disciplined and has been taught how to take charges and refs call a charge on B2? When coach B tells his players to take a charge and B2 jumps into the path of airbourne A2 and flops as A2 avoids the contact and slightly glances B2s shoulder...

Call it both ways.

One caveat though... if you are a ref and are calling it tight both ways for an entire game, if my team is up by 1 and on defense with 3 seconds left and the other team drives to the lane and we foul him, don't call the foul. Let the players decide the game.
