I finished my response, and then read Rusty's. Funny that they're the exact opposite!! It just shows that there's lots and lots of judgment involved, and each situation is different. If I were you, I'd keep watching other refs games, and keep adding to your data bank. See how others call this amount of contact at the same level, in similar situations. Work on developing the instincts that might give you an automatic response that you can feel good about.
