The translation was, if you can find a travel or out-of-bounds violation, that is preferable to calling a foul.
There remain many "expectations" of officials that do not fully match the rule book.
As JetMet said, there is a prevailing attitude "if someone hits the floor, let's make sure we have a whistle." It does not require illegal contact for this whistle, simply an expectation from coaches and conference coordinators that "train wrecks" and other plays with bodies on the floor MUST be accompanied by a whistle.

I can buy this. The key for me is, "If you can find..." No matter how hard I look, I can't find it here. I don't even think the most trigger-happy travel-calling official among us could find a travel on the tape.
