I understand the reasoning behind the change, but there are just so many possible post-infraction scenarios, there just has to be a better way to address it.
I still believe this change came out of a few "what ifs" in a game where a coach believes s/he came out on the short end.
Much like an INT call, sometimes is may just be more prudent to stop everything and apply the rule, reset and start all over. After all, as we all know, you can "what if" everything to death and still never come up with a perfect resolution.
