That's the way we do it. Last night my HL got a good spot while a late hit occurred 2 yards beyond the sideline and me (the R) and my BJ both had prompt rags. I agree there are isolated instances where you would bag it. The LJ today had it on every OOB spot. My former linesman partner (when I was LJ) was standing with me at the game and he agreed it looked shabby. But it may be a mechanics thing in their respective chapter.
One thing we do is always put the LJ under on try/FG attempts which means at times where I as the R will face the back of the holder. Frankly, I don't like that but our execs didn't want to make that change this year. I'll probably be talked about a little next week if we get sent out of district for a semi. "When in Rome!"
