Coach, my biggest pet peeve regarding high school coaches is that they constantly bring up the foul disparity. Keep two things in mind:

1. There is no rule requiring foul calls to be equal.
2. If you have a specific question/comment about a specific play, then ask it. Otherwise don't comment on the foul count.

I have found that coaches at the college level rarely bring it up because they understand that the foul call differential is truly a result of a legitimate foul differential. May I suggest that your time in any game is much better spent coaching your kids than harassing an official regarding the foul differential. Best wishes.
I had a game a few weeks ago where the second half started with the home team committing the first eight fouls. I didn't even notice the foul count until we hit six, to be honest.

Of course, that was because the home coach started in on the "disparity." My only feeling about those situations is that you better be darned sure you don't MISS one against the visiting team unless you really want to have to throw a technical or two. But I try not to miss any at either end of the floor, so it's not like the game changes for me. I just remind myself to maintain focus and continue to do the job.
