I have heard that from other officials as well as assignors. My response to them is that I made a call. I determined that both players were hustling and neither gained advantage or put the other at a disadvantage. My call was allowing play to continue.

Sounds like you did the right thing.

Philosophically, If I do not blow my whistle does not mean I did not make a call. Some calls have whistles, others I allow play to continue. Judgement, interpretation of the play, and rules applications happen every seconde of every game. Sometimes we blow the whistle, other times we don't.

Fortunately, the assigner in these parts says if someone goes to the floor, know how he got there.
