Doesn't take much to get a whistle from me on EOG fouling strategies. We know what theyre trying to do & although it wasnt a foul in the 1stQ its an accepted practice at the EOG.
We either use common sense or a football game can break out on the wood.

I concur...EOG fouling is different than fouls in other situations. And I've never heard an observer say anything different.

Agree. When you know they're going to foul, call the first contact that gives you a reasonable opportunity to call one. Don't make them escalate to the point of an intentional or flagrant.

I will have a quick whistle if the offense is, essentially, conceding the foul. If, however, the offense if actively trying to avoid the foul, I'm only calling an actual foul. Why should they be punished for having a lead?

I also keep an eye out for trouble, though. I called probably half a dozen intentionals in EOG situations this season; all in MS or JV games by players who just didn't know how to do it. The first thing I could even possibly call a foul on was a two hand shove or a slap on the back or....
