It is a great mechanic. There have been many times I wish we had this mechanic during HS games. And it is not always obvious you should have a 5 second count, but coaches and players will claim that you should have a count and this mechanic gives them a reason. There are many times a defender is just standing there and doing nothing. You now can communicate to the world why you do not have a count instead of it looking like you just are incompetent.
