While that is the mechanic we also use, what do you do if the coach simply does not bring his team out of the locker room? An official can only tell the coach to get on the field, not physically bring them on the field. It's happened here where the team is told repeatedly that they need to be on the field and they are still late, so having an official there is not the always going to prevent the problem.
