Your game certainly isn't. Note: YOUR game.
You seem to want to extend the LBR to any defensive player who has the ball and, in your judgment, nothing SHOULD happen at this point.
I'm sorry, but that is not the way the rules are written. I would guess that even such a strong advocate as Mike of changing the rules to kill the ball more like the SP model does not actually DO this presently during FP games. He wants the rule changed, but since it hasn't been changed (if I understand his postings on this subject) he does not unilaterally change them for the FP games he umpires.
IMO, you are abusing your authority by killing the ball so frequently. But, on balance, you do get to enjoy your soda and dog.
