...but like I said, ref the defense and you cant go wrong.
Do you mean this literally or figuratively?

If literally, there are many ways you can go wrong if ALL you are doing is reffing the D.
Reffing the D is solely about evaluating contact. It was and never has been about evaluating violation (travel, carry, etc.)

If the D has done nothing to cause the foul and there is sufficient contact for a foul, you're left with an offensive foul. Said another way...you can always tell who the foul should be on if you watch the D but you can rarely tell (correctly) if you're watching the O.
