Thanks to all for the input.
In situations where the chain crew interferes with the HL's ability to cover a play (e.g. a wide sweep where the HL needs to get outside the sideline), is there any provision to penalize? Since the home team provides the chain crew is it ever appropriate to assess a penalty against the home team? If so, what would the penalty be and would it be assessed against an individual (i.e., the home team coach)? (Assuming, of course this (penalty assessment) would only be after instruction/warnings to the chain crew to move back.)
