Reffing with the experienced guy who calls nothing?

[secondyear]

"matching" is not always the best way to go (maybe somewhere in between). I've worked with partners that have called everything under the sun - to include sitting all the starters on both teams and being in the bonus before the end of the first quarter and with partners that have called little. Taking the first scenario, are you going to call all the "touch" fouls as your partner does? If so, the teams never get a chance to play. As for the second situation, how much is too much contact? Just call your game.
