I can't remember who it was, but someone on here
mentioned the three types of foul theory (hmmm, that was a foul; That was a foul!; THAT WAS A FOUL!!!), and you should pass on anything in the first category out of your zone, always call anything in the third category, and only call the second category out of your zone if your partner was straightlined or looking the wrong way. That's what I was trying to say, except I forgot about the first category, and that the majority of contact falls in it. It was clear in my head, but when I tried to write it down, I was definitely guilty of an always/never violation.

If you disagree with me further, well, okay.
