1. I don't have a problem with the whistle if the play is obviously over. But it better be damn obvious.
2. NO. The U is looking for the ball to break the plane. He is not looking for a knee touching the ground, forward progress being stopped, etc, nor should he. He should simply use a pre-approved signal that the ball is in the end zone, not that a TD has been scored.
3. I do not put my fist in the air. I punch to the end line. That way the wingmen can usually see my arm even if they can't see my torso. I like that signal better than the two clenched fists that a lot of crews use.
Also, sounds like your wings need to pinch in and not be afraid to move to get a better angle. Somebody's got to make a call.
