I think the use of the mechanic will eliminate some arguments from coaches. They may not agree that the defender was outside of 6 feet, but at least they understand that YOU think he is and aren't forgetting to count.

Like I said in an earlier post. It is a stupid mechcanic. If the official is not giving a visual count then there is no closely guarded situation.
