Tony,

The wings should not be in a hurry to signal TD in the first place. If the ball did not go in on their side or in plane view, you do not do anything. All you have to do is make a little eye contact with the wing before you signal. You can wait several seconds before signaling a TD. The only time this is an issue is when a wing is too much in a hurry. But the Umpire is not in any position to signal anything. They can help, but they have no real angle to make a determination.

Peace
