I was also at the clinic in Indy and agree that it is well worth the cost. I was with the wings and listened to Mark Baultz philosophy on the goal line play. Myself, when I work U, I just give a good eye to the wing official and nod yes or no, then they will go up with the TD signal. That is the same way when I work wing that I get from my U.

I think it boils down to what your crew does or the state association wants you to do. I also heard that some U will point toward the EZ or field to give direction to the wing.

I think the NFL has a concrete philosophy with all their crews on this play and much others.

As far as the K, I agree with MJT, and also think most coaches will utilize this play and with a smart K, they will try and draw the RTK.
