Here in the GWN, the U and HL both walk off yardage fouls together. It looks professional and excellent, even on well marked fields. It's part of the many silent communcations we do as officials.
This summer, I've had no instances where as the HL (or the LJ - I also mark off when I'm the LJ) I had to correct a yardage application. Last summer I had two, and they were both minor, but nonetheless still requried correcting.
The U also flashes to the HL how many yards to mark off and in which direction. For "half the distance", I use a televison industry signal for "30 seconds", which is palm up, arm in front of you, and making a motion of cutting yourself in half at the waist.
Agreed we are teh Third Team. Ini fact, that's the name of our association's newsletter.
