Ignore em and call your game. This will get easier with time and experience.

I think that some things need to be separated from the OP.

Sure we all get the I never touched him/all ball BS, but those comments really are a separate issue.

What needs focused on is advantage/disadvantage...does a defender that blocks the shot and then slaps the shooter's arm/hand on the follow through actually disadvantage the shooter and his/her shot?

Clearly once the ball is gone the shot is not hindered so the issue becomes displacement on the shooter's landing.
