It's a balancing act between three things:
  • is RSBQ affected?
  • automatic fouls in the rulebook (two hands, extended arm bar, et al)
  • "get the first foul"

5 years ago, RSBQ was the main consideration, but now the Powers That Be are putting much more emphasis the later two points, and we as officials have been adjusting accordingly.
