Like said above, it is the R's duty to call this. I think the best way sm_bbcoach, is to just glance over and see if there is anyone in the area real quick as the ball hits the ground. If you're unsure just dropt he flag and go over and talk to the nearest wing official. Ask him if there was anyone around. Best thing to do is to make sure to add this in the pregame. Good luck out there, hope you have a great season.

Having only the R able to throw a flag for IG is, pardon my French, just plain stupid.

Stupid? Sounds like a big overstatement on that. You would be the first person to allow their wings to call IG, maybe Canadian is just different. Also, if you're going to make a comment like that why don't you atleast give some backing behind it, to why it is stupid instead of hit and run.
You have to beable to see the action of the QB to call IG. What if he gets hit and the ball goes to a receiverless spot? The wings should not see this as they have a lot of other responsblilites to be watching.
Just my 2 cents.

No hit and run - see my points in my first post on this subject; specifically the last paragraph. My views between posting times has not changed.
Here in Canada, if we have receiver coverage, we have to know when the ball was thrown. If there is illegal contact against a receiver, and it is before the pass was thrown, it is a 10 yard foul; and if it is after the ball is thrown, it is a different foul. Perhaps that mechanic difference affects the calling of IG.
The way I see it is IG is a foul that occurs over a span of distance. (Other than holding which typically happens at one location.) That distance is the spot of release, and the spot to where the ball was thrown. I don't see it necessary to have the R to rule on both spots and the side guy only on one.
