Are you suggesting to not call the PC foul (correctly) to avoid grief from coaches and fans? I suspect not, since you say you call a lot of PC fouls. I don't really care if everyone in the gym and the janitor thinks I missed the call. Knowing I am right and called it correctly is more important (to me) than pleasing people. We are there to protect and uphold the integrity of the game.

I don't think that's what Rut was saying and it isn't what I was saying. The point is that fans don't know the rules and they are biased by their team affiliation. They will see the same exact play on each end, but they'll want a block on their end and a P/C foul on the other end. They don't want the correct call made, they want the call made that favors their team.
