You have a thankless job reffing church league basketball. My advice to you is not to worry about calling a foul just because there are two players on the floor. If you can't determine which player had legal position before the collision, a "no call" is better than a wrong call. If you are really concerned about this happening, you must work on officiating the defense. What I mean by that is rather than just watching the ball all of the time you need to get a wider view to determine positions of the defense before the contact. If the defense had position before the contact, it is an offensive foul. If they weren't in legal position before the contact it is a defensive foul. If you aren't sure, don't make a call. If you work on this you will be surprised how many of these calls you actually see and get the right call on.
Good Luck!!!
You'll need it.
