Fouls are fouls and MUST be called. Marginal contact can be a no-call.

Given that you are describing a foul, your credibility as an official goes WAY down if everyone can see a foul which you do not call and then you make matters worse by calling an OOB the wrong direction. This is an old "philosophy" that should not be part of today's officiating, but unfortunately has been passed down by members of the old guard.

I would make sure you get YOUR plays right. If you think it may be a concern given prior experience with a crew, I think your approach to mention it in pregame is smart.
