Camp comment got me thinking

I would like your feedback on a comment given to my crew after a game at this past weekend's camp.

I am L...drive starts in the T's primary. Some contact on A1 (wearing white) when she reaches the lane, takes another step then stumbles and the ball goes OOB off her. I saw the contact but it was no more than we had been passing on since the start of the game. The T also passed on the contact. The C had an unubstructed view of the play and also passed. After the game (which blue won easily) the clinician said that the C should have had a whistle because A1 was obviously frustrated and, in their opinion, fouled immediately after the inbound that followed as a result of that frustration. He said "You need a game management call there to keep the level of frustration down. Blue was definitely going to win as they were up big. Give white the call there even though the contact was minor and as a crew you had been passing on it all game." I certainly understand the approach and have been thinking about it for quite a while. There were no incidents in the game and I think the clinician was making a point that we should be aware of the ramifications of a no-call and consider "throwing them a bone" (my words...not his) occassionally.

The question...which is more important, consistency throughout the game on what is a foul or making calls to keep a team from getting frustrated?
