One wanted a charge, one wanted a block. When do you all remain mute on such a situation?
Not very often. If the contact was just a slight brush and the defender had LGP, I've probably got nothing.

That being said, when I observe games I see way too many no-calls on these plays. When the contact is hard enough that both players go to the floor, there should almost always be a whistle. IMHO, too many officials go with a no-call when they aren't completely sure of the correct call. This leads to a rougher game. Make a freakin' decision.
