Do we need this mechanic?

[BillyMac]

IAABO has used this mechanic in Connecticut for several years. Previous to this, coaches would occassionally yell to us "Five seconds". Since we starting using this mechanic several years ago, we seldom hear this from coaches.

FYI, in 2006-07, "special" Connecticut mechanics included:
Arms extended not closely guarded signal.
Point to floor for two-point field goal try.
No long switches when foul is called in the backcourt and there is no change of possession or direction.
Team members are not allowed to congregate at midcourt during introductions.
Coaching Box must be marked. If home coach and/or home management refuse to designate coaching box with tape, the home team will not use a coaching box for that game. However, the visiting team will be allowed a coaching box. Notify Board Secretary or Commissioner the next day.
