No calls come with experience

But I do find it amazing that those officials who are supposed to know when to "make a no-call," find it necessary to call a foul on a player for getting stepped on. That's just ridiculous.

YES! I was at a camp this summer, it was a high school varstiy up to D1 level camp. They did talk about no calls and when to make them. I have papers with that information on them, but in a clinitioned game (clinitioned by a 10 yr D1 official, state toureny, the works...) a 3 point shot went up, and while the shooter was still in "the act" his defender accidently stepped on his foot, it was the smallest contact, and I did not feel that the shooter was placed at a disadvantage because of it! But, my partner called the foul, basket was good, and we went to the line! The clinition told the reff that his call was a good one, I have wondered about it ever since, is it just me, or is that not right?
