I will ask before the game who the receivers coach is. I will then explain to him that when the ends are coming out tward me, I will hold my arm up to indicate that they are off the line. It is their responsibility if they are to be on the line to move up until I lower my arm. This prevents any verbal communication and the responsibility is on them to make sure they are where they are supposed to be. I will do this for V, JV, and freshman levels.
JH levels I try to help out by punching back ends that are off and saying "off". If they tell me they are on, I will nod my head or give them a thumb in one direction to get them on.
