At a recent 8th grade game of my daughters, where her team had 6 players and the other had 5. I noticed at halftime the officials looked over the scorebook to find out how many fouls the players had.
in the second half which was a blowout home team up by 25 over my daughters team the R got upset at the coach complaining about the fouls not being called. Very Obvious! after some heated discussion between the Coach, Ref, and Some fans, it was said very loud that they were trying to keep everyone in the game. They then got p*ssed and said " okay we'll call everything."
Interestingly the game flowed much better and ended up being played 4 on 4 at the end.
I would suggest not to do this, but call the obvious fouls. Be consistant in what you call, not adjusting to the play. Let the players adjust to the calls. That is the only way they learn.
