Then the next night you have a guy calling it as suggested by rule, so it can be very confusing.

Amen. I've been at a number of HS games in the past 2-3 seasons where the girls were so close they could share the same uniform, and there was no count. So much for the rule philosophy rewarding good defense 
I definitely think they should add the signal to the NF chart. It would be a lot more practical than the administrative rule changes they came out with last year.

I guess this thread would be the wrong place to talk about officials that haven't put their hand up on a single OOB call all season in about 25 varsity dates. Maybe I'll start another thread. Nah.
BTW, I noticed that about 80% of the OOB calls in the HS game on ESPN2 did not include the stop-clock mechanic.
