Tightening up?

Perhaps if things weren't loosened up to begin with, you could avoid having to tighten up in the end?

Strive for consistency right from the beginning and you can avoid many adjustments that might be caused by your own style. Granted, each game is different but the tone is set early on (more often than not by halftime at least). At the break, you can correct some minor focus points but there should be no need to make great changes in the second half had you been consistent from the rip.
What does loose or tight have to do with a lack of consistency? You can let them play and be consistent. You can call everything and be consistent.

This is about game management and game flow, and not recognizing those game ruining situations while they are occurring, instead of AFTER they happen.
I was referring to the consistency of calling the illegal contact as it occurs in the early stages of the game versus having to "fix" things later on. Too often I hear that guys need to tighten up which implies that they let too much go earlier. "Letting them play" is one thing but let them play within the rules and you can still achieve a good flow.
