I'll call that violation (not just over the line, but also on the line, which is often duly noted by coaches in the first half) every time. Actually called it just a few nights ago, and previously called it four, or five, times this season.
I would never consider not calling that violation, nor would anyone else on my local board.
But, keep in mind, I've spent my entire thirty-seven year officiating "career" isolated here in a little tiny corner of Connecticut, and haven't been exposed to anything else first hand.
For those that would ignore that violation, it probably comes down to, like a lot of other things discussed here on the Forum, "When in Rome ...".
