No, I've had the exact same question this whole year! Why on earth, would you call a foul on a guy that's "already beat,"or "already lost the battle--his guy has gone to the hole, about to score or dish off for that 'mean' dunk?" Why? Yeah, he's playing lazy 'D,' but who cares? So, that's happened while I've played and w/ my partner when I've reff'd. I've debated w/ fellow p's about that call. Some say they call it every time. I strongly disagree, too, XX.

Let me know what else you think 'bout it...

This is good game management. If we work our good angles at "C" position and "T" we won't have to worry about guessing unless you are blocked out. Keep your eyes on your defender at all times, and pick up the defense early and often. Slight changes in angle can make all the difference...

Weigh the advantage/disadvantage aspect of the play, and wether or not the player does indeed suffer arm/body contact AND if he/she loses the ball. Quite often this action is one of a desperate/beaten defender and the offense is going toward the basket with a numerical advantage and we take that away in this instance by blowing a foul...
