Punch or Don't Punch
There are crews in our association who argue about the benefits and drawbacks of punching a backwards pass back.
Pros of punching:
* Only the covering official should be punching and if he punches you know the pass is backwards.
Cons of Punching:
* What I will call "Inadvertent Punching". If someone does punch and someone else blows the whistle, you can have a real problem.
Thoughts on the punching mechanic?
