I saw this type of delay 3 times last year. I had the call once and the other 2 were called by my partners.
So this year when I went and worked a local scrimmage a week before the season started, the coach had us talk about changes and odd/ends. I brought up this point and that the thrower needed to return as soon as possible.
I don't think it's an accident that I saw this multiple times last night... I think it's being taught and some officials are not enforcing it.
