Absolutely not. Never. You never say never, but in this case you say never.

The only thing closer to a never is the umpire should never signal TD. There are two instances I can think of where they could though. The first is a fumble in the field of play and recovery by the offense in the end zone near the umpire. This has happened twice to me, and both times I told the BJ to signal since he was part of uncovering the pile. The second is a fumble on a kick return and the kicking team returns it for a TD on the U side.

If a U flags DPI it's a clear indication he's new or has not received proper training or ignores all training.
