I think I need to be a little more clear when I ask about "consistency." By consistency, I mean that the criteria we are using to make our decisions on what fouls/violations to call and what to let slide. I don't care if one team has 12 fouls and one has 2. If that's what is happening, then that is what I call. But if I am calling hand check fouls and my partner is not, then that is not consistent and I want to avoid that situation.
I think (maybe a bad idea to be thinking) that the best idea is to set expectations before the game as to how it will be called and then adjust accordingly. Then call what I see and not worry about what my partner is calling. Is that a strategy that seems to work?
