I agree, fix the problem. But sometimes we're not able to fix it.
My problem with not flagging it is this may create bad habits for a team, and they get a crew later who flags it every time.
We've gone round and round about this in NC. We've basically decided to fix it if possible, but flag it if we can't. Ultimately, by now the teams should know how to line up.
Now, our state association origianlly decided we should enforce the 9 yard on Free Kicks as well. But every game I've worked this season, we've chosen to ignore that.
