I just don't find block/charge or traveling to be difficult calls to make.

For fouls, you get position, you referee the defense, you determine advantage/disadvantage, you make the call. Not everyone may agree but that's the breaks.

For violations, you stay wide enough to see the play, you know what the ball handler is allowed to do (has he dribbled?, pivot foot, etc.) and you know what violates and what doesn't.

Determining who a ball went OOB off of can be the most difficult call in the game.
