Taken to the extreme: Why throw a flag at all? You know what foul occurred and where it occurred.

In a case like this, I launch the flag to the spot/yard-line of the foul, so everyone else knows that a foul occurred and where it took place. The players know, the coaches know, the fans know and my crew-mates know.

I'd rather not be asked, "where?" after I've answered, "what?".
