Advantage Disadvantage, Etc.

[jkjenning]

Good OP. Advantage/disadvantage is also applied to violations, JRut; I have had many officials work to instill in me that a carry/travel when the ball is being brought to the frontcourt uncontested should be ignored - no advantage gained.

I think something else that factors into this, though, is that the crew should be a team themselves, so the choice I have to make in the coming years is how much do I feel I should work to influence my partner[s] towards a stricter interpretation versus adjusting my calls towards his/her/their philosophy... but I don't think that being a maverick and having two wildly different philosophies at work on the court is correct either.
