In my opinion, the LJ/HL are the ones who should call the quick pass you described backward or forward. They haven't drifted if they have their eyes on the right place and can kind of sense what's coming (those plays have a way of telegraphing themselves, just like the wideout in motion back toward the formation is going to be a crackback block on a backer during a sweep). Anything longer than a count of one, and it becomes the R's call.
Every season, half the white hats want the punch, half don't. It's more of a college mechanic and my chapter has a sort of low-grade simmering fued between the college guys and the strictly high school guys based on mechanics (and turn ins).
Oh, and mark me down 100% in the pro-sunglasses camp. "We have never done it that way" is the weakest defense of any practice. If it's good enough for baseball, football, and volleyball players, not to mention cyclists and golfers (all of whom rely to some degree on good, clear vision) then it should be good enough for me. If football decided equipment regs based on "we've never done it that way" then players would still have leatherheads with no face masks.
