That's what I think, and this was discussed here a few yrs. ago. The officials should try for a pace such that no team will ever be waiting for them. If a team does have to wait for them, that influences the game and unfairly disadvantages them. But if you've always readied the ball fast, that prevents the appearance of the opposite, namely that the officials are waiting on one team, rather than the team waiting for the officials.
