As Ray Lutz has said in his reply, we do not like the Umpire to signal touchdown. I prefer my two wing officials to signal touchdown in all situations, not just within the three yard line. If your Umpire comes up with a touchdown signal the same time one of your Wings come in with a spot, you as the Ref are going to have to make a difficult decision. I like the mechanic that the Umpire says, "We have a ball in the endzone", or "The bread is in the oven", or whatever to let the others know where the ball is. If the wings do not have the runner down prior to going over the goal line, then TD.
