Stop thinking, just officiate the action going on at the moment, you sound like you focus on a grain of sand. Our job is to police the beach.
This is a very poor post.
Plenty of rebounding fouls occur while the ball is in flight on the way to the basket as players attempt to obtain the best possible position in case of a miss.
AremRed has a legitimate point. Both are important and officials must make a choice about where to look and when. Deciding when to help and when to focus on one's primary is one of the difficulties faced by higher level officials.
