Really depends on what you are seeing. We played a strictly half court defense in a total mismatch (i.e., no press) and blew a team off the floor to the tune of 40-2. Nothing you can do, it's just that kind of game - I've pulled back, but I won't tell my players to stand there and let them score. Opposition got off maybe 5 shots the entire game.
Nitpicking violations on this team when they are so overmatched would do nothing for them half their shots came after travels that weren't called. Call the fouls, cause if you don't someone's gonna get hurt. But the refs told me at halftime that there may be a few more non-travels in the second half and not to worry - they just wanted to give this team a little space to play the game. I just asked them not to call the quick (and undeserved) foul on my team (that is a definite No-No), because fouling players out can change the game, and I don't want my players to get the wrong message on what is and is not a foul. But in this case, even that wouldn't have really mattered.
