Hard foul at end of game

It is about GAME MANAGEMENT not judgement.Your philosophy is fine when it comes to swallowing your whistle because,"We don't want to decide the game," but this is different.

The game situation dictates that we need to call the foul.
In fact with younger kids I have even remined the players,
while we were lining up to shoot free throws,that we are aware of the situation and they don't NEED to be overly aggressive with the contact to get the foul called.
