I don't want to add too much, because I think it's detrimental for a new official to think too much while on the court.

That said:

Don't be afraid of a late whistle. As Mark alludes to, anticipating can lead to missed calls. If you need a second to digest what you just saw, take it; and don't be afraid to blow the whistle if you realize you had a violation.

As you officiate more, your reaction time will speed up and your whistles won't be as late.
