We have all had games where foul counts get lopsided and there are many reasons why:
Defense is more aggressive
Team in general is a step slower
Parity in ability, etc.

How do you deal with coaches and games like this in general.
It really depends on the coach. I might ignore them. I might be sarcastic ("I do not count them, I call them"). I might tell them to stop fouling. I might tell him the reason the foul count is different. I do all kinds of things based on the person and the situation and how well I know the coach.

Peace
