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.
