Disagree with "at all costs" here. If that were the case, you'd never cross over at all. Simply by crossing over, you're exposing the sideline to weird stuff happening.

As a wise official told me once, with two-whistle, it's about sacrifice. You have to give up something (a 1% play) to get something (a good view on 80% of the plays).
