I seem to recall a thread of a year or two ago where the issue of the defense playing through the interference and making further outs was discussed, and one member suggested we should not be so fast in declaring the ball dead to avoid rewarding the offense for the violation.

That's sure tempting to do, Dakota, but I was admonished decades ago never to let play continue. You never know what might happen after your "no call" or "delayed call." Inevitably, the teams will get wrapped up in what happened afterward, and it could be very difficult to set the clock back.

The problem is not our mechanics. It is the rule itself.
