Of course, I'll certainly call it if it is more than marginal no matter the status of the ball.

Camron,
This is exactly what I do. I do not blow the whisle without some idea what has happen with the ball (or at the very least I try not to). And if for some reason I am unclear as to what happen, I ask myself. But if I have waved off the basket, I have long made a decision as to what happen. Maybe my whistle was a little slow, but I sure decided for some reason I was not counting the basket.
Peace
