Personally, I wouldn't say I'm oblivious to foul counts in my games. I think that would be irresponsible. But I only become concerned when the differential is about 4 or more at any point in a given half. Perception is reality, so I take a more objective look at how we as a crew are looking at both teams' styles. But that's not to "bring the count back in line." It's more so to make sure our calls are defendable. Some teams hack a lot, and some are very light on defense. It is what it is.

Said another way: Foul count is of import solely in the context of game management.

I'm not saying you do this, but I hate this philosophy aspect of game management. So many times I've seen white has one foul and black has eight fouls. Next thing you know an official is calling a couple fouls on white they never would've made otherwise and are potentially not even fouls to begin with.
