I am somewhat of a minimalist. I try to only throw a flag if it's absolutely necessary.

Here in the GWN, we have a 20s play clock, but it starts on the RFP, at the discretion of the R and it called by the R. I wear a Timex watch while I'm the WH.

If it is obvious that a team is taking a long time, I verbalize "10 seconds". They know that they have 10s to snap the ball. In reality most WHs give 20+ seconds depending on the level of ball. So when I say 10s, they really have 12 or 13. At that point, 12 ro 13s is plenty. Use your voice - prevent a foul. Works almost 100% of the time.
