I'm not saying either way is wrong. I don't like abdicating the roughing responsibilities or like calling the uprights myself (it's like calling balls and strike from behind the mound) and I'm trying to decide whether to use this on Thursday when I actually have to work 4-man.

I'm not saying either way is right or wrong. We all have to do what our group tells us. It's interesting to see what other people do.
That mechanic has worked for us for ~20 years. For whatever reason, we don't have a problem with roughing. Our Varsity coaches adapted after the roughing the C rule was put in. I have seen no one head-up on the C in years.
I U'd a 4-man game on Saturday and it felt right to get to pole calls right. The R and H clean up the line play.
BTW, in 5-man we have the BJ on one pole and the U on the other if the ball is snapped inside the 10. That way the H and L can stay on the line.
Again, not saying it's right or wrong, it's our mechanic.
