As I have been moving up the ladder, the line of thinking that I have been presented with on this topic is that a varsity, college, and\or pro ref has to make a decision based on what they can pass on, not what they should call. This way, the game flows more.
There might be contact on a pass and crash, but the ball was thrown out of bounds. Save the foul, award the ball out of bounds to team B. Keep playing. A1 running on a break; B1 comes in late and tries to stop the layup. B1 reaches in and fouls A1 as A1 passes ahead to A2 for the dunk/layup. Do you call B1's foul or let it go for the two points that A got? Ultimately, teams want to score. Incidental contact is part of the game, and all contact is not necessarily a foul. The decisions that are made by us can make or break a game, but each individual ref has his/her own philosophy about what they should and shouldn't call. Our assignors also carry a heavy influence on what we should and shouldn't call, and we have to appease them in order to continue to move up the ladder. So work with it.
