I train my guys to give the tipped signal if R do touch the ball and therefore make it recoverable by K. Follow it with a 1st down signal in the appropriate direction (or touch back signal). It makes them think about what they have seen and the change in the status of the ball.
As a bonus it can help with discussions with the sidelines. Good signals from the crew plus good communication from a wingman may prevent a Coach getting upset in the first place. A punt is/isn't touched and K seemingly recover.
"Coach, did you see the covering official give the tipped signal?"
I can't count the number of times that this mechanic has ended discussions with a sideline almost before they begin.
I only expect a beanbag for a touch at a spot of first touching/illegal touching by K.
I have my guys carry two bags - one bag in case they have a touch by K, another bag for marking the end of the kick for PSK enforcement.
