I ref in 4 different HS conferences here in MN and it is an unwritten rule that the big schools "get to play more". So when refs that do mainly small schools are given a big school HS game they are sometimes percieved as whistle happy. In my opinion you need to use your judgement and apply rules as they imply to the skill of the players and the level of the game. I have also seen this work in inverse as sometimes state tourney officials that work exclusively big school ball get a small school tourney game the coaches and the fans think the players are getting maimed and there is no whistle. IMO however a good official adapts to the style of play.
