Who is entitled to the ball?

I've been coached on these to pass on this foul if it didn't affect the play (and on a made basket it does not) unless it is particularly rough or it is time to send a message (e.g., things getting out of hand, these 2 are going at it too much).

Richard,
I agree exactly, but before we start passing on those calls, we, as newer officials, must first recognize that those off-ball fouls do, in fact, exist.
First we take our baby steps, and then we make our leaps and bounds.
