Is allowing "the defense an opportunity to counter those substitutions" a new NCAA thing, or is this mechanic (having the U over the ball) new?

And how long does the U remain over the ball? Say there is a substitution with 10 seconds remaining on the clock, does the U remain over the ball for 2 seconds? 3?

As for "teams are usually not getting close to the play clock running out", I can't say that about WSU. It's been happening all season. My fellow fans (I'm a season ticket holder) know I'm a high school official, and frequently ask me questions. The U standing over the ball after the RFP isn't an NFHS mechanic, and this is the first year I've seen it at the NCAA level. (Edit: WSU is not a good team. The fact that it is struggling to complete substitutions is just one of the problems.)
