IMO - this is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. Just one more retarded detail to knock someone down on. Did they want you helping on the box out as well?

I think it goes to show we, as officials, are hustling. There are lots of ways to show we are hustling....this is on of them. No big deal.
Hustling in between FTs is also one more way to keep youth league games with stopped clock action moving along. Nobody I work with on a Tuesday night 840p start wants to put themselves in a position to ensure they are still on the floor of a regulation game at 10pm. Is it a big friggin deal to be on the floor at 10pm? Nah. But, I'd rather be en route to my hot shower and bed, thank you very much.
It's just one of those little things that can add up to making for a more efficient game.
