At the high school level I would be much more concerned about the penalty that could effect the play rather than one that has no bearing whatsoever.

Being the contrarian above, I'll answer.
No, I don't want the wings turning heads and missing play at the line of scrimmage. What I said was I don't want them ignoring it cause the player is only a step or two from the sidelines. If they miss it because they're officiating and the player runs out of their line of sight, fine. We don't have 7 officials in my state.
I also don't mind if someone else gets this if it's obvious (back judge, for example).
