Now that might mean that I (as BJ) would have to make sure a play near the sideline is not ruled out by the wing officials before it crosses. But the BJ goes up with the signal and rules on TD, no TD because the wings are not likely to be there.

Things like that often vary according to assoc "rule". Around here the rule of thumb is inside the 15 the BJ goes to the end line. That can vary slightly according to type of play expected at the BJ's discretion just so long as he lets the HL/LJ know what's going on.
