Don't you do this on every call on every player during every game? You should NEVER take an individuals foul count into consideration when making your calls. To do so is a disservice to the other players and the game.

Officials who subscribe to this philosophy, and those who are in a position to eval the "moving up" of other officials who do use this technique ought to be drummed out of the officials ranks.

Favoritism is favoritism no matter how you try to rationalize it.
