One of the most frequent requests I get about records in games is regarding fouls called. There have been some ugly games for sure, but the key number to look for (at least for boys) is 60+. Fifty some fouls in a game makes for a rough watch, but 60 is what it takes to get in the top ten ever category.
I also feel like the girls side is under-reported at this point, because I have a hunch those numbers will be similar before that category is fully researched. If you saw any run-of-the-mill gal's games in the 70's and even into the 80's, there were some doozies.
