It's interesting that both the recent Men's bulletin and Women's bulletin both mention that consistency has been good so far, but needs to stay in place as league/conference play begins to heat up...in my mind, that is the reason that play has been getting a little rougher/more physical...league/conference games generate way more complaints and phone calls to supervisors than do non-conference games, and no one wants to get that dreaded Sunday afternoon call asking why you called the 5th foul on so-and-so's star player for a simple post displacement foul - nobody went down, yada-yada-yada...we all know it happens (been thru it myself recently)...so officials tend to loosen up a little...right or wrong? Don't know - but it happens...
