In ASA, that is how the umpires are instructed to call the play. I'm paraphrasing the passage: If there is a missed tag and the plate is missed, the plate umpire should hesitate slightly to see if there is an attempt to tag out the runner. If there is no attempt, the umpire should declare the runner safe.
An initial no call indicates that you have nothing but if the defense does not attempt to retire the runner, you have to indicate in some manner that the runner acquired the base.
