Interesting point Ed. That was the precise reasoning used by a CUSA official in a game I worked with. He was the FJ and I was the SJ.
He said "they" do not blow the whistle at all on Trys. The play kills itself. Sure enought, on every kick since none were blocked, the players just picked themselves off the ground and headed off to the bench area.
The Ref was having some fits over this, but was convinced by the FJ not to worry about it.

At the NF level, its my opinion the whistle has to be blown. Especially on a blocked try. Too much extracurricular activities start to occur when team B starts a runback.
We don't even let them get to the ball.
