First of all it is a cop out. Secondly, I want to start on the sideline, not several steps on the sideline. I have also seen officials do this and miss the hiding substitute play as well.
If that is acceptable where you live that is fine, but I would not be the one advocating that practice. Because there are other things you could miss and if you miss a deception play because you had to step foreword, I would rather take the chance of taking the heat for an IP called than missing something bigger because I was not in position.
