My area supervisor and, of course, the state association where I work preach the importance of showing a good preliminary.

I like the use of a preliminary more so than not when officiating, mainly because there are those times when we as a crew are focused on a matchup or secondary match up in our primary and we don't "see through" a play or maybe don't have it in our peripheral view, thus we don't know why a whistle was blown and play stopped.

The quicker the entire crew knows why play was stopped, the more efficiently a crew can move the game along.
