Call it when you see it? Carrying the ball.

Early in the game--No Pressure--I tell the coach to let the guard know that he needs to keep his hand on top. First dead ball--I tell the player the same thing--then I nail them if they do it again with or without pressure. After the first quarter--I call it when I see it. I have heard several advanced officials say that if you haven't called it all game, you can't call it in the 4th quarter. I have called it for the first time in the 4th quarter and calmly explained to the coach that that was the first time I saw it--usually not a problem. I also make an allowance for 4th quarter subs (non-starters) in blowout games. They will probably get a warning if they are unguarded.

Yeah, Bk!
Sounds pretty okay to me.
