Yes, that's what i was trying to point out in my first post.

But you can take it to the bank that CT/TIE indeed effects Fouls. I've started playing TIE since mid season. Before that i had an average of 14-16 fouls. (Can't really recall the exact average. )
When i started playing TIE i realized i started committing 20+ fouls.
It's reasonable to assume that it is linked to defense after playing 9 TIE matches and 13 normal matches.

I've thought about this more, and here's what I've got. Even if I think that CT affects defense, that shouldn't affect fouls, because the fouls would largely be called when the team who is CTing is on offense. So you'd argue that CT would make your offense better (thus causing the opponent to commit more fouls) not the other way around.

Unless you think that CT causes your opponent to commit more fouls, but that doesn't make sense to me, and I have proof to back it up. I check several of sharkboy's previous games, and here is the number of fouls he commited:
25, 22, 20, 27, 28, 23, 20, 19
This leads me to believe he just has really bad defenders or bad stamina, or both, and that if there was a CT involved, it had nothing to do with the amount of fouls called.

I think you misread my point. My point was that his (the opponent) 14 fouls could have been 21 if he didn't play CT. I wasn't referring to the 20+ Sharkboy made. Sorry if it was misleading.

There is no deny though, that Sharboy' Defense is a bit broken if he has an average of 20+ fouls

You're right, I did misread that. I just went and checked Toys BC's (his opponent) fouls for the last few games, and I found this:
23, 10, 18, 17, 13, 19, 21, 13, 17

There is a pretty large variation there, but the average of those is 17 fouls, which leads me to believe that CT (it it was a CT) doesn't affect fouls.

Also, the last time sharkboy played this guy, the fouls were 28 to 17 in favor of Toys BC, so it's not too far from the result this time.

What I'm thinking right now is that there wasn't a CT in a first place.

It makes sense to me that Defense effects fouls and opponent FG%. According to the statistics, Fouls and FG% hasn't been altered. Which makes me question if the opponent indeed used a CT....

Frankly, I agree. I think sharkboy's upset isn't much of an upset at all. ;)
