The no-call is a good philosophy, and is consistent with the rule book - you have to consider advantage. I teach what I call POST - other people call it other things:
P - point of attack - call it
O - obvious, everyone sees it - call it
S - safety rule - call it
T - If it's not POS, then it's a talk-to
You also have to consider point of attack. If a tackle is holding a linebacker who is trying to get across the field to the runner, you might call that. If two lineman are dancing - the hold has no impact, so pass on it.
As to what you tell a lineman who was being held, you don't have to explain the philosophy of holding. Just tell him you didn't see it, but you'll keep an eye on it.
