There are two kinds of consistency: within the game, and between refs. Both types are important, and are normally emphasized during a referee's training. While I would like to see a tighter game called (less hooking and grabbing especially), I don't think it is appropriate to make a dramatic change in the level of enforcement during the championship game. For this reason, I don't think it is good enough to say that the players should adjust to the ref (although good teams will do this). The ref *should* be consistent with what other refs are calling. I think I have seen a tendency for tighter game calling this year at the games I have seen (mostly RPI games). Has anyone else noticed this? -- Craig
