I understand the issue Longhorn but there is some advantage inherent to possessing the football. Conversely, it isn't really fair that a dead ball foul's penalty by B is assessed on 4th down after the determination for the LTG has been reached or not. I don't see ATL Bear squawling about that. B is perfectly able to try and strip the ball to gain possession. No where does it say that a team gets to keep its time outs in its vest pocket because it really, really wants to save them for its offense.

If you as the R feel that A was intentionally fouling to gain an advantage, then by all means, hold the clock. I just don't think that many teams nor their coaches, are that sharp.
