NY state office has instructed that on quick passes to a split end (e.g. one-step drop, turn, and fire), the wing that the pass is coming at is to punch back on a non-forward pass.
Most of the officials in this chapter feel that the wing the pass is going away from has a much better angle on this, and have him signal first; the "on" official can then pick that up.
Anything other than that very quick pass to the sideline is ruled on by the referee, as the wings are likely to be down the sideline.
