This may or may not apply to you, but here is one thing that happens. You see the foul (obvious or not) but, for whatever reason, you hesitate. Then you react: "OH NO! Why didn't I blow the whistle?? Well, it's too late now....."
It isn't too late. Go ahead and blow it. A bit late is acceptable, and much better than anticipating something that didn't happen and blowing it too early.
