I have had mixed feelings about this, but I cannot think of a good reason other than by practice not to give a TD even when you personally throw the flag. I have always wondered, what if the ball is just short of the end zone and we do not let everyone know we are calling a TD or just short of the EZ. I got scolded years ago for signaling a TD on an OPI foul I called, but I always did not see the argument not to signal the obvious result of the play.

We have some very old school WHs in my LA and it looks so silly when they turn to face the press box to signal TD. They're removing their eyes from the players, and then whack - Ooops we missed that one coach.
Only signal TD if it's part of a penalty enforcement as Rich says.

Yes, there are times we *need* to look away from players. This is not one of them. |

We should signal the press box when the score is official. They should not change the score until they see the R signal to them. (PS - the idea that you're taking a look away from the play is silly - you have crew out there, and additionally, it's not like you're in a rush to make this signal ... signal it when it's clear the play is over and you have no fouls).
