I think crews need to have this kind of awareness. I had a game this year and the crew called 32 fouls in the 1st half. In my opinion it was just too many. The half was excrutiating to be part of. There were too many whistles on marginal contact.
We talked at half, and only had 17 fouls the rest of the game. They were obvious, they fit the game, and they were correct.
