To really get the hang of advantage/disadvantage, you've got to watch a lot of ball as an observer. Do it in your area, with refs that are reffing the same schools you're working in, so that you start to see what they're calling and not calling. When you're observing, try to get down near the floor, so you've got the angle the ref has. Also, work on the art of the late whistle. Sometimes, the advantage or disadvantage doesn't show up for a second or two. There is such a thing as a TOO late whistle, but often just a hesitation on your part is a smart move toward applying A/D.
