I agree! I've seen such a "no-call" when a crew was made up of partners who hadn't previously worked with each other, and/or the official with PCA felt intimidated to be working with his/her partners.
I observed a 3-person crew, recently, who were so tight during the 1st half of their game, that they looked like 3 totally separate officials, with virtually no interaction. We talked about it at halftime, and they did a much better job in the 2nd half.
