No one tunes in to watch some lumberjack chop down a star player. It's the only sport where "the whistle gets put away" in a tight game. Call the penalties.
Holding is still holding in football in the 4th quarter. The refs won't be deciding the game. The idiot who committed the foul will be.

1000% agree. When they cracked down on obstruction in 06 they were getting it right. A penalty is a penalty no matter when it happens.
Refs have gone back to make up calls and hidden whistles. It's an embarrassment.
