how many fouls is too many?

[Rich]

I will only say this:

I can't remember a single JV game I've watched in the last two years where I thought the officials didn't call enough fouls.

I can think of a few where the crew was calling as many as my partners and I would've called.

In all other occasions, there just wasn't good judgment on advantage/disadvantage, IMO, and the end result is more fouls than is needed to manage the game. Unfortunately, the coaches at the lower levels tend to get used to the game being called that way and expect it, too.
