It's amazing how a T can change the game

How about that both teams or at least on team made adjustments. When you make adjustments, the game cannot and will not be called the same. I have been officiating for a bit of time and when teams make adjustments, you cannot just call the game to even up fouls. For example, if a team is settling for jump shots in the first half then they are attacking the basket in the second half, it is possible that the fouls will be different in the second half. Just that simple. Good coaches realize this. Because I always find it funny when coaches complain that they are getting hosed on fouls, when they are not being aggressive and just shooting all day from the outside. Fouls come from contact and it does not come from shooting 3 pointers. Maybe that was the reason. But I was not there, you were coach.
