When one player is always beating the other down the court and getting position, and then the other is trying to move the opponent, call it on the first contact. But what I often see, is that they arrive about together, and the contact is initiated by both, and is hard to pin on one person. I had an evaluator at camp recommend a philosophy which I'm going to try this year. He said, when it's the same two players at both ends play after play, call on team A when they're on defense, then next trip team B defense. If they still haven't learned, team A offense, and if necessary, team B offense. At this point, if one player complains that "she's doing it too!" you respond, "Don't worry, when she does it, I'll call it" and then do just that!
If that STILL doesn't clean it up, call the double. At that point they will most likely both be pulled (three fouls each, and screwing up the plays!). So, defense, defense, offense, offense, double. Be sure you're switching on fouls so that it's always you, or be sure you pre-game this with partner, and work extra-closely together. It would be conceivable to pull this off in the first quarter, and it would make a big difference. At least, that's the theory I'm going to work on these first few games. We'll see how it goes.
