If you see high school and NCAA officials on TV they are running around leaning and peaking just to look busy. Finally, high school officials will run across and look at where they are going. There aren't even many camps that speak about officiating the lane as you are walking across. Heck last year the camp I went to didn't even talk about how you should walk across.

I'm not a HS official on TV, but I definitely don't "run around leaning and peeking to look busy." In a varsity game, especially in two-person, there's plenty of real contact to keep track of, without making work for myself.

Also, perhaps we have better training camps here in Oregon, because I've been taught A LOT about when to cross over, and when not to, and what to do on the way nad what to do when I get there. I haven't mastered it yet, but it's available to anyone around here that is interested in moving up.
