Umpire is used to seeing action on the G-C-G and the weak side team B guys are positioned to get a rebound from a blocked kick off the rush from the strong side so they are not pushing hard.  The S is there to make sure there is no "pull and shoot" by team B's strong side.

In other words, umpires need all the help they can get. ;D
