It's more of if they are just too lazy (or tired) to walk back toward the sidelines and come back in to spot the ball after the play. I guess I still fail to understand the benefit of pinching in that close at the start of the play. I work youth football as well as varsity and can see the play just fine without pinching. I just think that there is a greater benefit of moving in forward from the sideline during the play than to back pedal quickly or *gasp* turn around. However, I will concede the point that some associations teach it that way and that maybe these officials are doing things correctly as taught to them. I also concede that these may be rookie officials just learning their way.
