Fair point ... but then why 3 pitches? They get 60 seconds, or they get 5 pitches, whatever comes first. If that means they get zero pitches then they get zero pitches. Giving them 3 just because you think they don't have time for 5 is kind of silly. Give them 60 seconds. However many that makes.
One note - we used to have a problem in our area with one team, and no one would address it. So I did. After 2 innings of zero pitches, they got their 5 every inning of every game after that (at least the ones I worked, which was the majority).
