Is it about saving US time or is the game about give the players & coaches a fair opportunity to win? As LOS officials, if we get the info to the coaches, they'll make the decision pretty quick, especially at the National Federation level of games. Even at the NCAA level, we want the coaches involved in critical decisions. Their jobs depend on it. If a mistake is made or someone starts second guessing, let the monkey be on them.
I'd rather be one that over-communicates with my sideline versus one that the coaches don't feel that they can take too.

So ... holding on the offense, offense scores a TD... you're going to go ask the coach what he wants? 3rd and 10, illegal motion, incomplete pass... you're going to go ask?
