I hate it when I work with members of our association who think game management = call it tight + have a predetermined idea of how much I'm going to let go.

Fouls are not contact. They are an involved process dependant on the nature of the contact, the type of contact, player position, advantage gained or disadvantage caused and immediacy of the adv/disadv.

There is nothing worse then watching or officiating a game with two physical athletic teams play a game with 50 fouls called and it be determined by who's bench players are better free throw shooters. This isn't my thought process in the game, but each situation in a game is unique and really needs to be called as such.

This "keep the hands off", " quit your reaching", or my personal favorite "he's gotta learn not to do that" stuff makes me crazy. It its contact meeting criteria for a foul call it, if not zip and don't worry about what could happen in the future as a result of some teenagers response to what you did or did not call in the first half.
