Still to this day I remember that, still to this day I choose to ignore that comment.

That advice rings in my head often, Dudly.
Right or wrong, I look for a reason to call something, rather than simply disregard the notion.

I understand where you are coming from but if neither is at an advantage what bearing does "calling something because someone is on the floor" have other than appeasing the coaches? By the way I've been "guilty" of doing this in the past but I've become less inclined to doing this lately. Now depending upon how the game is going dictates whether I do this or not. For example if it's been relatively clean game I might have a no call. If its been a game plagued by fouls and rough play I probably will call something.
