My approach is to call the violations when they pretty much call themselves. I am also of the belief that if a 3-second violation is an official's best call they're in a lot of trouble.
So this means I may call 5 or so of these a year. I went an entire season once without calling one. Idiot fans and coaches are going to yell for this whether or not the conditions exist, so I'm certainly not going to listen to them. And I'm not going to pay much attention to a player with a toe in the lane on the weak side (although some coaches think we should be playing "gotcha" with those).
