That is not entirely true. At least it depends on the kind of game. Many times you do not want to call things that do not need to be called. Evaluators will often time give officials credit for things they do not call as well as the things that they do call. I agree that every trip has its own identity, but you can put yourself in the game when it is not needed by making too many calls. You also can sometimes not put yourself in the game enough.

It definitely depends on the kind of game. One can certainly make too many calls or not enough calls. But with regard to proportions, I just mean:
1. If team fouls are 12 to 2, don't let that make you look harder for foul #3.
2. If you have called 4 fouls while never leaving one end of the floor, don't let that make you sit on the 5th one.
3. If you know a player has 4 fouls, don't look for the 5th, but don't look at the ceiling to avoid the fifth.
4. etc.
