Agree with Bob here.

Hold the whistle. If it does not affect the play nail it. We could call stuff all day long. Bob said it himself the "bigger" the push the less you wait. This should cut out violent play.

Example: Let's say defensive player B1 makes the push on A1 (even rough), Meanwhile A2 is rebounding and making a put back. You blow the whistle for the foul. Hasty? I think so. You call requires you to waive off the good basket by A2 thus hurting Team A. Was that call good for the game? No. If it is really violent then come up intentional and give A two shots and the ball. Otherwise it is prudent to wait and watch the play.

Besides, even if I end up no calling because the rebound went the other way, I can still go up to A1 and tell him to cut it out.
