I'm close with an NBA ref who always says, "Know the consequence of your whistle". He means that every time we blow our whistle for a foul, we need to know what that whistle will lead to--i.e.: will there be free throws and who will be shooting.
If you blow your whistle on a rebounding foul you need to already know if the team is in the bonus, and if so, you need to be communicating the shooter with your partners before going to report.
