Come to find out they didn't know if the suspect named in the warrant was even there. He wasn't. I think that's playing it a little loose with a no knock warrant. If you're going to go to the extreme of issuing a no knock warrant, at least be sure the person named on the warrant is there. I don't consider that a very high bar.

The entire "He's been seen there before" excuse doesn't work for me.
