This was what the NSAA was wanting to avoid by having the chopping on the last 5 seconds. It brings consistency because the BJ is doing it for both teams.

If there is not a play clock, and crews are told not to chop, I think it would be wise to not wait until 1 second to snap the ball. We do not chop cuz we are told to not chop. The coaches were at the same rules meeting where we were told that. I have never heard a coach complain about it cuz they know that is how it will be.
