I officiate and calls fouls where and when needed. I also agree with Adam as to the caveat. I thirdly don't coach. I don't "remind" players how many fouls they have, coaches how many time outs they have, and I certainly don't keep a running tally of who on the court has how many fouls. My job is to be impartial. Plain and simple.

I've heard evaluators say this and IMO they lose credibility. On one hand they are teaching us to be better impartial judges of a game and on the other they are coaching us to manipulate the real outcome of the game.

The way I look at it, most nights half the gym thinks we did a horrible job. The nights where the whole gym thinks we did a bad job are the good games IMO. Rules were gotten right and both teams an even playing field.
