Called it once when a jumper practically took the ball off my fingertips as I released it. I had a very late whistle because....I needed time to get my whistle in my mouth. The very fact that the R doesn't keep a whistle in during a jump ball (for safety reasons) might be part of the reason this isn't called very often.
Generally speaking, if the ball is anywhere near the apex, I don't care. It's the occasional egregious "theft" that I'm concerned about.
