Had a less experienced partner working with us in the first game of our JV/V doubleheader last night. He calls a three second violation against the visitors in the 4th quarter when they're down 40+. We get in the locker room and discuss time and score and how letting that slide might be better for game management. No one from the visitors said anything, but there are coaches who would.
On the other hand, in the same game at the very end I had a visiting player slide underneath an airborne shooter before he had a chance to land, putting both of them on the floor. Easy block call even though they're down 40. I'm not really good enough on fouls to purposely call them for the losing team, but I can choose not to call a three second violation on them and no one is the wiser.
