FYI to coaches and parents: Foul counts are not supposed to be equal. 99.9% of the time, the team that fouls more will have more fouls called on them. Things like style of play, aggressiveness, zone/man all play into foul count. Just like layup counts are not supposed to be equal. The team that settles for more long range shots will usually take less layups. Things like style of play, aggressiveness, zone/man all play into layup count. If the refs artificially make the foul counts even to appease those who disregard factors that play into numerically uneven fouls, I would guess the refs would have to artificially make the layup counts even, as well as the 3-pointer count, travel count, etc...
**TWEET!!!** - ref: "Team A has made four 3-pointers this quarter, Team B only has 1. The last two layups will count as 3-points, and the next shot they miss will also count as 3-points regardless if it goes in or not. Just trying to keep it fair and even, calling it both ways. And after this quarter ends, Team A must start the next quarter with two turnovers on their first two possessions. Thank you."
