I agree that you don't need all officials within a couple feet of each other, but the wings have to get the call.
to add, a responsible Wing should be crashing the pile, but must also be aware of the surrounding area and not crash carelessly incase the runner bounces out wide. by crashing in contol the wing should be able to retreat and keep play in front of them.
