I believe that is the point. They want this conversation to stop. There is no need to explain every call you make to a coach or to have so much dialog with the coach. They are seeing a trend here that they do not like, and both sides are guilty. The official has his line already prepared before he gets to the table and the coach is expecting some type of response. They want to kill this, IMO. Plus I have heard about speeding up the game. Now don't shoot the messenger but I did not know it was taking longer to play an NCAA game.

What I was trying to say was the opposite table official is the one that gets displaced or has to rotate out of his/her position in this new system. It takes some getting use too. The Cadillac position is the Center position.
