You're right there's not a disadvantage...as I said earlier, I should do it more, but it does seem to slow the flow of the game...in my expereince anyway...your way is probably the right way to do it...your points are all excellent

When I worked a few one-man games back in the day, I agreed with you. Calling time does delay a game. Players hear time and wander. Coaches begin communicating with players....people just relax and then take time to get focused and back in position when play is called. The less often time is called the better.
In the extremely rare situation that something happens when your back is turned. Stop it and put it back where it was. No problem. If you are hustling, no one is going to b!tch. If it happens and you're strolling, then they will, and you'll deserve it.
This is what Frosh? JV? And one-man to boot. He!!, keep it going.
