Chuck, I don't really think using the stop clock mechanic is the answer. I say this because using rainmaker's method can buy you time if you get the color and delay the point. Using the stop clock mechanic commits you to using that arm and in order to stay open you have to use the correct arm. I think when starting out you just have to gain experience and repitition. If you do this enough you will get it. It will become second nature to use the stop clock mechanic with the correct hand and point with that same hand.
I just read my post again and I want to make it clear that I'm not saying to point without the mechanic to stop the clock. I'm just saying that this alone isn't the answer. I think that the fact that an official realizes this as something that needs work after having done 4 games shows a desire to get better and/or good training. There are some vets that use both arms for this or cross their body.
