Officiating Philosophy ?
Team A has a huge lead on Team B, we're talking 25+ points here. Start of the second half, Team A comes right out with a full court press and scores two quick baskets. I don't like what I'm seeing, so I start to use a bit of my philosophy here and start calling fouls on the pressing team (Team A) when they come into contact with the team bringing the ball up. (Team B) Keep in mind, I am calling all contact. My intention is to get Team A out of the press and at least let Team B get the ball past half-court. Eventually the coach of Team A gets the hint and backs the press off for the rest of the game.
Was I wrong for doing this? Should I have let Team A continue to press the heck out of Team B?
