This is the mechanic that I was taught and I like it. IMHO, it is easier to wave a flag off than to go back to the spot and throw a late flag. Late flags tend to produce confusion all around.

Regardless of the technique used, flag at the time vs. after the down ends, the focus is to get the call right. Getting the call right is more important than determining what is the proper time to drop your flag.
