For example, "everyone" can see the foot on the line. But, it's judgment as to whether that was a good dribble or palming. People count at different rates.

Sounds just about right to me.
I do disagree with Skippy on
some violations, but that's just a minor(and personal) disagreement. Some violations you should always call imo. Some violations you
might call
sometimes.
My personal "might call" list includes:
-player going OOB
- 3 seconds
- 10 seconds on FT
-"fisted" ball
- closely guarded when defender is at the 6' limit and not applying pressure
-swinging elbows when no opponent is close
Note that I said
"might" call. I can't make a hard and fast rule, to be quite honest. Might bang it immediately. Sometimes though a warning just feels....right.
Wishy-washy? Probably. Shrug.....
JMO.....
