Not through inconsistency, but due to frustration on the part of one team, or due to the lower skill level of the subs that have come in, or whatever. Maybe the intensity level has gone up in the second half and the teams are a little chippier.
Maybe at those times, it doesn't hurt to call a couple quick fouls that maybe weren't fouls in the first half; just to give everybody a chance to slow down. Just my opinion.

I agree wholeheartedly. For example, the beginning of the second half has the potential to show us how the teams have changed/adjusted to the results of the first half. These changes and adjustments
could have the potential to let the game get away from us forcing and adjustment on our part. my $.02
