In regards to plays involving the ball handler, not limited to but the ball handler especially, I would suggest not to ref with an advantage/disadvantage Philosophy but more of a RSBQ (Rhythm, Speed, Balance, Quickness) philosophy. If the dribbler was affected in regards to RSBQ then blow the whistle, if not then the contact was marginal, incidental, or inconsequential, in which you would play on. Also, if there are guidelines in place such as two hands on, forearm, etc. take advantage of the guideline and call the foul, you can't go wrong there. You can tell the coach "(Name of coach here) he had two hands on the dribbler and by our guidelines that is an automatic foul."
