Since we are on the subject of "off ball" how much (or little) do ya'll let go in the post? Do you let the leaning and slight pushing go? How about hooking the arm? I'm still relatively new at this, it's my fourth year. I tend to let most of it go uncalled and have not been called down for it. How about you seniors?

Call it. Call it early and often, if you have to.

I'll try to talk them out of situations early. I should have a recorder with a tape that says nothing but "Straight up! Straight up!"
If needed after talking to them, I'll get that foul. But talking to them accomplishes 2 things -- it avoids the game interrupters and also lets them know that I'm watching.
Now, I don't spend the whole game talking instead of calling fouls, and this is the balance that takes a while to find.
