Did a game a couple of summers ago? I was working with an older guy who would tell it like it is to fans/coaches/and parents.

Early in the game we've got 2 blocking calls on Team A's pg trying to draw charges, and push trying to go for a rebound. So with three fouls he's sitting down mid way through the 1st quarter and Coach A is up begging for us to"let the kids play!" Which based on his backup pg play I assume meant we can't have any starters in foul trouble.

Anyway late in the first quarter I've got guys running into each other on screens, people flopping to try to get charge calls once the play has moved and loose ball all within about 8 seconds. I don't see anything that disadvantages either team in the broken play and we go the other way with me as L. One the Team A parents jumps up and says "you gotta call something there."

My partner on the trail takes his whistle out and stops, looks at the parent and says "We your coach just asked us to let them play, so at the next parent meeing you guys better get on board about what sort of game you want called and e-mail me what you decide!"
