Question: Do you find yourself calling different fouls and violations in a Varsity game versus a JV game? Womens game versus a Men's game?

Thanks for feedback....

Yes, there is a difference in level of play and in the genders.
You need to adjust to the players in the game that you are calling.
Figure out what they can and cannot handle and officiate accordingly.
That will allow you to be successful.

I find that the people who call it the same no matter who is playing aren't very successful.
