I love this mechanic. It makes it clear to everyone that the play is over, even if there is a whistle. Coaches and players recognize it, and it is useful when the crowd is noisy.

Myself and others discussed this and thought it would be great. Then we had our state evaluator notice this during a quarter-final we were doing notice us doing this. We were graded down for using an unapproved mechanic. If this makes it into the mechanics manual I'd welcome it.
