The advantage/disadvantage is the hard part. It takes much more than just knowing and enforcing the rules. This could be a whole new thread. I am still at the point where a push in the back is a push in the back and I call it a foul, no matter when it happens. Some officials will say that if it has nothing to do with the play or nobody gained anything by it, then let it go.

It's all about judgement though right? I don't guess on travels. If I'm not
sure that it was a travel, I don't call it. Some coaches think they see nitpicky travels on the other team the whole game. Of course, they don't think their own players ever travel. It drives me nuts when I have a partner who micromanages travels.... seems like those kinds of refs are great at calling 20 insignificant travels during the game and missing big, important things. IMHO, the most important thing is to be consistent in your travel calls the entire game.
