I sometimes try to step outside and think of it as a player or a coach might think of it. If you are questioning how consistent you were calling it (as a referee who knows the rules), then wouldn't a player just continue to do it because it may or may not be called?
On the flip side, if the same actions are consistently getting the same call, then players should adjust and coaches are less likely to complain (in theory).
