Well, of course. I was talking about officials who have a spot inside the hash marks who stop and spot the ball in the sidezone rather than busting in -- I see guys do it all the time and it looks terrible. My crew knows they have to come in -- and if it's close I'll be yelling "get a spot, get a spot" if they don't immediately pick up on it.
