Holding the whistle on a drive

And yet, I see others whistling during the drive, getting the common foul. Thoughts on this?

I am not going to "see it through" when the foul that took place prevents the player to do what they were trying to do. I think you call the foul when RSBQ is clearly influenced or the "automatics" take place. Because if you wait and there was clearly a foul before, the play still might not be completed. I would rather call the foul when it takes place.
