Mike--
I am still working on my own game, and can't say that I've really developed a style yet, but I do notice a couple of trends by now (about 250 games under my belt). One is that I call travelling tighter in a girls game. This is because I see that at the higher levels (college and WNBA) the travel is called much tighter, and I tell the coaches this if they complain. i also tend to call rec games looser than the "official" games, such as HS pre-season and season games. The main problem I have is that sometimes the advantage or disadvantage of slight contact is not obvious until it's too late to call the foul. I think the understanding of this is a moatter of another year or two of experience for me, while other refs with more b-ball background may get a feel for this much more quickly.
The main trend I see in other refs, is a tendency to call the game less tight than they talk in their meetings!
