Good one Back In The Saddle.
BITS makes an excellent point - even if it wasn't originally his. If you are not quick enough to call the initial attempt, the aggressiveness will escalate until you will have to call an intentional foul. Call one early.
And most important is that this initial attempt is likely a foul that you probably would have let go at any other time during the game. But recognise the game situation. Are they wanting to foul; does the game situation call for the team to foul? Then call one before you have to call an intentional... before they hurt each other.
Rarely have I been chastised for calling a little foul in a tight game ending situation with the fouling team behind.
