Do you mean this literally or figuratively?

If literally, there are many ways you can go wrong if ALL you are doing is reffing the D.
Reffing the D is solely about evaluating contact. It was and never has been about evaluating violation (travel, carry, etc.)

If the D has done nothing to cause the foul and there is sufficient contact for a foul, you're left with an offensive foul. Said another way...you can always tell who the foul should be on if you watch the D but you can rarely tell (correctly) if you're watching the O.
