I don't like the work "permitted". Any official is permitted to signal. However, on our crew if the ball is snapped from the 10 yard line in, the wings will have the primary responsibility for the goal line and the back judge will have the end line. Any farther out and the BJ has the goal line (Some crews us the 15 as a cut off). Any of those 3 officials will signal touchdown. The U & R don't rule on the TD.
It's better if only the closest covering official signals. Don't mirror the other persons call. There is no need for three guys to throw up their hands.
