Some thoughts.....
Pick up the defender(s) in your Primary so that you can determine if the defender did anything wrong. If not, they should not be penalized even if there is substantial contact.
Has the defender established Legal Guarding Position (LGP)?
Position yourself to see ball handler, defender and the space in between. Get a good angle.
Stay far enough away from the play to see both feet and upper body without having to move your head or feet. Don't lean or bend (I get gigged for this sometimes).
Recognize when the play starts and let it develop and finish, then make the call or no call.
Also, don’t penalize the defender for athleticism or height differences.
Bottom Line: Don't penalize the defense for playing good defense.
Just some edited thoughts pulled from some references......
