I think we play too many games thinking that the difference of the players changes how we do our job. I call the same game with the same concepts at all levels. Obviously older and bigger players can deal with contact differently, but the concept that I call the game is the same. And many of my HS games are not that far off of the college games I work. Actually at the college level I tend to call more fouls anyway because the contact in that game fits the concepts much more clearly than what people accept at the HS level.
