I just think it is more valuable to get the "right" foul and if necessary, get the other player at the other end of the floor. If necessary, talk to the players after calling the foul. One person is usually more responsible than the other.

My partner called one last night in a boys varsity game. No big deal.

We had a really good game last night, I think -- at least 25% of our fouls were off-ball fouls. My partner even heard someone near the table remark that "these guys don't miss anything."

Of course, that's not true. I missed the fact that I was working the game with the flu. I felt kinda crummy yesterday afternoon, but started feeling better near game time. Worked the game, passed on post-game dinner/beers, and went home. Started feeling a bit worse, took temp, 104. Yikes. Slept all day today. Eaten a piece of toast. Some flu shot.
