Does anyone else have a default call when it is "too close to call?"

No, and IMO having a default call is laziness — and I am not saying you're lazy, I have guys in my association in mind.
Know what LGP is and referee the defense. Then you'll know whether contact is a block, charge/PC, or neither.
I don't deny that some plays are close, but IMO there are far fewer of them than many officials seem to think. Usually what seems to them like a close play is one they picked up late and guessed. And even on nut-cutters I do not have a default call.
