May years ago, an old referee told me this. After the kick is away, go to the spot of the kick. You may pick up the spot were it ends up. The wings go deep and come back to the LOS. When they walk back, listen to the fans. When they start booing, take three steps back and spot the ball. May not be right but both sides a pleased as they can be.
On a side note, several years ago back when R was on the side line, on a Kick-off the ball went on a line drive out of bounds. I come running up field hoping my U could help me. He'd gone brain dead on the play. As I'm coming up the field, yelling help to my umpire, the radio announcer on the sideline said it went out right here. I stopped beside him an nobody was the wiser. YOur right, sometimes you just have to fake it and get as close as you can.
