If a play like this happened during an officiating camp my guess is an observer would say something to the effect of, “I don’t care if you get the call wrong, someone HAS to put a whistle on this!”
I agree! I've seen such a "no-call" when a crew was made up of partners who hadn't previously worked with each other, and/or the official with PCA felt intimidated to be working with his/her partners.
I observed a 3-person crew, recently, who were so tight during the 1st half of their game, that they looked like 3 totally separate officials, with virtually no interaction. We talked about it at halftime, and they did a much better job in the 2nd half.
