Like what? I guarantee you that a men's college pre-game includes the following: "If we see a handcheck [or off-ball, or 3-seconds, or swim stroke, etc.], grab it early. Because if we let it go in the first 35 minutes, we're going to have to live with it for the last 5".

And what sort of reason do you have for making that statement anyway? I'm not being critical, I'm just curious. I don't think it's all that common, personally. But when it happens, it's very possible that it just didn't happen in the first 30 minutes of the game. So they're grabbing the first one they see, it just comes at a big point in the game.

I am saying taking aproactive approach to calling contact can lower the potential for fouling situations.
Perhaps, but you're raising the actual fouling situations.

The men's game is WAY too physical and needs to be reeled in a little.
I might argue with the word "WAY", but I think it probably is still too rough (nothing wrong with being physical). We're working on that. But I don't think using different mechanics will have any effect one way or another on rough play.
