That way you are all on the same page and when the situation arises we aren't arguing about it. And the out of bounds option is better than just saying "play on" and somebody gets a free layup as a result. Now if the defense lets up and the ball carrier doesn't, then that's too bad.
Probably not a bad idea, but you'll still get an argument. Any time a whistle sounds and you don't stop play, and one team scores, the other will plead with you that they stopped due to the other whistle.

If I was working one of these games, I probably wouldn't plant that seed in the coaches minds before the game, but would deal with any situations as they came up.
