I personally think it would speed up the game, instead of having to go to the center of the field to report to the R, and then to run back. NCAA/NFL officials do it all the time runnning half way to give the number and are able to run back into position quicker. We also have less officials that the higher levels, especially on Thursday nights (4-man).

Just my two cents.
The linesman comes running in and signals encroachment while you come running in signaling false start.

Why does it need to be quicker? Do you have somewhere you need to be?
