There is no regionally accepted way to handle this situation, the only correct way is to handle it as described in the Rules and Casebook Plays.

Either the official handles the play correctly or he does not. There is no regionally accepted way to handle the situation only the correct way. I do not wish to sound like a hard tuchus, but if an official is afraid of being taken to the woodshed for doing what is correct, then maybe that official should not be officiating.

I personally rather defend myself for doing the correct thing, rathier that trying to defend myself for doing the incorrect thing.
