at the end of the game, my only criteria is to make sure that it is a "solid" foul...marginal contact plays get no whistle from me...

Do "marginal contact plays" get a whistle from you other times?

Some would say that all your foul calls should be "solid fouls." Marginal contact plays shouldn't get whistles from you in the first place.

To the OP, you said it yourself, the defender hip checked a player out of bounds. If you believed the hip check disadvantaged the player, then call the foul. Fans will b**ch and moan regardless of what you call. Some fans expect everything short of a cross body tackle to be ignored at the end.
