While I also agree that games are not called the same the ending minutes of game with a clearer winner, you can't really pass on fouls.

Last year was my first year and I got the advice from a veteran to pass on all but the obvious fouls in the last 2 minutes of a game unless they were flagrant.

I had an obvious holding call right in front of me that I didn't call with about 1:20 to play, despite having called that same foul on the same player just a couple of minutes before.

Coach came unglued and told me to be consistent. I talked to my partner afterward and he told me that I was right in passing on it and the coach will get over it. That really didn't sit right with me.

A couple of games later I had the same team with nearly the same scenario and a different partner. I had another foul in front of me with about 45 seconds to play and I called it. When I went by the coach he told me he appreciated me calling that foul and right or wrong I called the entire game the same way and that's what his players need.
