In my area, even before it went optional, many didn't do the bird-dog when the foul was obvious. I'm glad it's gone. Have a mentor come to a game and get you to slow down to the proper speed.

As for the mechanic in higher levels, it's when in Rome thing. If you're not able to incorporate a new mechanic with ease, you have lots of room to grow. This is not a bad thing - it's bad only if as an official, one doesn't recognize this.
