Now we've stopped the game and will resume where we left off... a throw-in for team A behind the end line, administered by the officials, and therefore, with a count. Seems to me that's a preventative way of dealing with it, and personally I try to be preventative.
Can you tell me how this is preventative? You're preventing, what, a 5 second violation? With a delay of game warning that isn't in the rule book? Good grief, there's no need to make stuff up here.

I disagree, the great thing about our profession is when some of us start making rules up, there's generally someone to hold us accountable.
