I have no problem with the rule. It's the mechanic that makes no sense on 99% of kickoffs. When we see an obvious on-side kick situation we put 4 guys on the restraining lines anyway.
When you have a state association thinking the mechanic is stupid, it is time for the FED to reassess the mechanic.
