The NCGS is a tool given to use to use. My opinion is that it should not be overused. If the distance is close to being closely guarded then use the NCGS as it is an informational signal for the players, coaches, and fans. There is no reason to do it every few seconds to let everyone know that the player is not closely guarded.
I use it just to let the players know that the distance they need to make is just not over 6ft (or my estimation of said distance) so when the defender takes another step in, the closely guarded count begins. No need to give the NCGS in between 2 counds, ie. the 6ft was broken and re-established. Just switch hands rather than waste the time with the signal.
How will you know if its been 5 seconds? Either you pay enough attention to my hands and notice if they are switched or you will hear a whistle.
