I know I am being a grumpy old geezer about this rule change almost 15 years ago. But, I never could understand the need for it.

When one thinks of all of the things we must do after we recognize a team's TO request and before we finally give the signal the Timer to start the timing the TO, a 30-second TO can be almost 60 seconds and a 60-second TO can be almost 90 seconds.
