NCAA-M Summer Teaching Points/Mechanic Change

My PCF signal involves stopping the clock with a fist, followed by putting the hand that stopped the clock behind the head and punching with the other hand. This cannot be confused with a score the goal signal. For contrast, I use the approved "score the goal" signal with an open hand, the same hand that stopped the clock. That said, I understand why the CCA Men's Mechanics Committee made the change to have the hand behind the head.
The $1,000,000 question is who among Division I officials will actually comply with the new directive in the upcoming season, and will this directive be followed in the 2021 tournament, should it happen?

It might be used as a factor if someone is consistently using proper mechanics or if someone is not using proper mechanics, especially if the margin of difference is so close. But it would not likely be with just this one thing, it would be other mechanics or procedures addressed I am sure.
