If you think it's OK not to call a foul on a "star" player in any situation just because they are a "star" player, then why don't you credit that "star" with a basket every time they shoot - even if it's an air ball? Same principle. Besides, if you call the foul on the "wrong" player, you're penalizing that player unfairly. And if you don't call a foul at all when the "star" commits one, you're penalizing the player who actually got fouled and also their team.
Remember - we don't commit fouls, we just point them out when they occur. If we don't - we're not doing our job.
In our local kids rec league, we've had some players who were the kids of NBA players and some of those kids were much better than most of the other players. We never gave them "a break" or showed favoritism. Every once in a while, someone would ask us about it and we were adamant that every kid gets treated the same.
