Our mechanic as wingmen is to tell the receiver he's off or on the line if he does his little wave hello (and usually if he doesn't). If he's off the line we extend our arm (punch) to indicate it.
In sub-varsity games the receivers often need to be talked through it but they pick it up after a couple plays. A little preventive officiating goes a long way.
At the varsity level they really should have their act together.
My favorite is when A only has 6 men on the line and it gets flagged. The coach will always ask, "Well who was it?!?!?!?" There were FIVE players off, Coach, that's the problem!
