She believes that the more contact we pass on, particularly early in a game, the greater chance of rough play later.
2. I played HS ball about a jillion years ago. The game is substantially rougher in two areas: post play and boxing out.

We get told about every season that when coaches complain about fouls, they complain that not enough are called and never that too many are called.
Of course they all think that not enough are called on the OTHER team. Funny how that works.
