Not exactly Dan. Unfortunately, in these games the clock keeps moving regardless of what pace you work. If you waste precious seconds to work at "your pace," you do the players a dis-service. The switch alone could be 5 seconds per non-shooting foul wasted, which might be 2 minutes of playing time in a game. I find that to be relevant.

I'm not rushing the game because you think you might get another minute of playing time in - in the worst case the ball's getting put in play when A has 6 and B has 4. In the best case you have a disorganized mess. (Well actually in the VERY worst case there's someone who innocently wanders into the gym that I might need to impress but won't be because you think you're not getting your full playing time. But that's not your problem, it's mine. And it aint gonna happen.)
If the refs can't or won't control the pace of the game they do not belong on the floor.
