There are definitely situations that you can defer to advantage/disadvantage during a game to allow for better flow. However, it's tougher to pass on a call based on the lines that divide areas of the court. The lines are just about the only non-judgement calls available to us. When someone violates by stepping across one of the lines, regardless of wanting to keep the game flowing, I think you have to call either the violation or the foul. If someone has a toe on the 3 point line or out of bounds line, you make that call every time. Why would you pass on a division line call?
I agree.

Blow the whistle and either put a fist or a palm up in this case.
