Bean bags first and foremost should be used to inicate a potential enforcement spot. Spot of the fumble or backward pass (grounded) beyond the LOS, PSK, momemtum, first touching, (NF). (I think that's all) These situations should be mandatory!

Any other use of the bag is purely communication to other officials and I consider them optional. A fumble behind the LOS, muffed snaps, ... are not inforcement spots but may prevent an inadverted whisle. One time that is a no-no to me is when R is first to touch a scrimmage kick, it can be confused with first touching by K.

There are to many times a young official drops a bean bag because they saw it on TV (NCAA or NFL) but have no idea why.
