I know I'm quoting myself, but I learned this lesson in football. I work college football and coaches are NOTORIOUS there for clipping plays and sending them along. They only clip the ones they don't like and there's absolutely no context from play to play.

It could be a 50 point game, but if you (deliberately or otherwise) tank a call (whether it be a block/charge in hoops or an *obvious* DPI in football) you'll not score any points. Doesn't matter if it goes against the winning or losing teams, either.

Save that mentality for the true 50/50 calls.
