Yep. Don't go fishing in the other guy's pond.

Many times in youth ball, especially early in the season, the covering official will decide on a "talking to" for the first occurrence, rather than a flag.

It's not a bad idea, and can avoid any embarrassing disagreements if both wing officials "are on the same page' regarding LOS infractions. If such difference arise during the game, addressing them subtly and privately as soon as practical is a smart idea.
