Even out the fouls?

[Treeguy]

I heard a story, 2nd ot 3rd hand, of a guy in our association. Team A was up by 20 with about 2 minutes left. The foul count was out of whack in favor of team A. The ref began calling alot of fouls against A. B ennded up winning the game. In the locker room, the AD confronted the ref who said he had to even out the fouls. Needless to say, he is no longer with our association.

Just like you can have lopsided scores, turnovers, ect..., you can have lopsided foul counts.

I had a game where the home team was pressing and up 40-18 at the half and the also had the lead in fouls 10-2. The coached yelled at me that we needed to even up the fouls as we walked off the floor...I told him I would but I would have to even up the score also and we would start the second half tied. The first foul of the second half goes against him and he states..."Here we go again, it this the way it is going to be this half too?" Whack...foul count 2-0!

Quoted from a vet. ref in my association..."I don't count 'em coach, I just call 'em."
