Hmmm...not sure why the R would want to lock-down so early. This last season, NCAA-W went to essentially no lock-down. The L could come across any time they felt they needed to...in practice, most did use a "lockdown" at some point under 10 seconds. Most of the crews I worked with used the idea that once we were under 10 the C would give the "chest slap" signal and tell everyone they had the clock and if there was a "rotation" they still had the clock...I like the experimental mechanic better.
