What harm can that procedure possibly do?

Do you also think that a directional signal by the R for the AP possession at the start of each quarter shouldn't be given either? The idea there is to let the teams know whose ball it is and which way that they're going, isn't it?

Anything that an official can do to stop teams from going the wrong way on the initial jump of the game is fine with me. That's just "preventive officiating" imo.
