Signal #7 is used to denote where the spot is going to be after you blow your whistle for anything at any time during the game. You're simply telling everybody where the throw-in is. That signal is supposed to be used for
any boundary line, not just an end line. If a player runs up the sideline after you've designated a spot, is that a do-over too?
If you do what you're recommending, you're screwing up even worse. You're screwing the other team by not calling a very obvious violation. Your interpretation is wrong.
Might be wise to go to your local rules interpreter on this one,folks, before you even think about following that advice.
