Or if there is contact on another play, I might pass on that contact if we have not been calling that type of contact previously.

That also applies to no-foul situations. Like a play to the basket that was not called earlier, I am not going to start calling those later in the game either. But mostly these are things I try to do myself or be conscious of what I have called. Not every play or call a partner makes am I totally aware of or saw why they called the game. I think mostly this is a feel for the game than anything.

To this point. Last year at a camp I had a staffer talk about the crew being consistent. If someone passes on contact, then at least for the next trip or two, contact that was equal to or less than the contact just passed on, should be let go.

In the OP, the first play is a foul, most of us agree on that. However, it wasn't called. There is no reason at all for the next play to have a whistle. I am more concerned with the reasoning for the pass, and the next whistle more than anything.
