I've gotta go with Mick too. It's not an official's job to determine what else to do during a "blowout". The losing team always has the option to "call it quits" and stop the game. By letting some violations "go"; while calling others, is treading on thin ice from both a philosophical and safety standpoint. While human nature wants us to go with the underdog . . . as objective officials, that's not our business. Players need to learn how to lose. It's more important they learn what the rules of the game are.
It's not your fault that one team is getting beaten by a wide margin. It could be your fault if one person is injured because you let a foul slide by; or frustration mounts because you don't call a violation that you know occurred.
