It takes much longer for an under-called game to get out of control, so if the officials are sharp and can come in with a few timely whistles to keep the tempers in check, then the proper balance can be achieved.

Well said imo also.
Of course it helps when I agree philosophically with a statement like that too.
BTaylor did say it well..."Too much contact is not a foul.
Illegal contact is a foul."
