We probably have different definitions of calling a game differently, but I'm adamant on my point that officials moving up don't adapt with the game they are officiating(At least not the ones that move up successfully).

High school officials who never have interactions with higher level seem to think that there is some drastic instruction or philosophy that happens at the higher levels. There is not.

And I call the game exactly the same based on contact and whether a foul is to be called or not. I do not do anything different. The difference is that a kid in middle school might not handle contact the same as someone in college. But then again a kid in college is not as clumsy either. So what is considered incidental might vary, but that is more about the talent, not the level.
