Agree with shot clock forcing the call. No choice but to call it.
Regarding lazy offense, or great defense, I also agree.
I've called it a few times in my forty year career, but it was a really lazy offense, or a really great defense, or a really, really long and high pass (hang time).
Even then, I felt like I was showing off, "I know the rule. Gotcha".
