I used to not believe this, but I have in the last few years changed my mind. I think Goaltending and Basket Interference are by far the most difficult calls. The reason they are so difficult is they do not happen very often. They often catch you off guard. Depending on your angle you may not get the call right or do not see the play very well. Even when you work many varsity games you might go a season and not have one of these calls. Block/Charge calls happen much more often and if you referee the defense these calls can be so easy to make. They also do not catch you completely off guard.
Peace

I don't think defensive goaltending is that tough, personally. BI is unquestionably a nightmare.
More and more the tough calls are loose ball plays in terms of held balls and/or fouls in getting to the ball or trying to get a hold of it (i.e. reaching around).

Anything that doesn't happen very often is difficult to feel confident about, but of course some are easier than others. I agree that BI and GT are the most difficult of those infrequent calls (in 8 years of girls ball, I've never had one!) .
But for me the most difficult call to make is the judgment between incidental contact and an illegal screen. (Ray, are you listening? Here's your A/D thing!) Aside from the basketball itself, I find it miserably uncomfortable to call anthing that the fans are screaming for. I hate to give them the satisfaction.

I would have to agree with Rut and z on this one. I think Rut might've hit it on the head when he said it's a call you might not see all season, and when you do, it comes by surprise.

1. BI/GT
2. That pull up/fade away jumper, that always seems to end up in leads lap, with the defender coming from the opposite side of the shooter. You have a good angle and then that little fade away will sometimes leave you too close and blocked with few options to move for a look. 3. The hand or ride by the defender on the dribble, jump, gather and jump stop move. It really tests the patient whistle to let the play happen.
