It very rarely happens and when it does it causes more grief for the officials than any other rule.
My count is the slowest you have ever seen!
What time limit would you suggest the rule be changed to? There has to be a limit. Otherwise, a player could stand in the semi-circle forever and there wouldn't be a thing you could do about it.
Maybe this could be a Delay of Game type situation with the first violation in a game being a warning, and the second being a technical. It happens so rarely that kids may not even know the rule, and so giving a warning if necessary seems reasonable.
