Perhaps you had a choice of flagrant or intentional for the foul call. I guess you had to see it.
On the rare occasion when I call a game alone, I call the game tighter than usual, particularly on screening and post play. I do this because I know I can't see everything, and I want to prevent any rough stuff from escalating.
Many officials I've seen working alone, or in a blowout, tend to pass on calls in order to keep the clock moving. Maybe you can wink at a few violations, but it's a mistake to ignore the types of contact that might lead to rough play.
