IMHO, the more common application of this rule will probably occur on dead ball fouls such as encroachment and false starts. Examples :
30 sec. left in game - A 7 , B6 - clock running when....
(1) A's Big ole' Bubba tips over into neutral zone.
(2) A's Big ole' Bubba (OT) breaks 3-point to stand and wave to prom queen.
B would certainly want to apply 3-4-7 and start on snap.
IMHO, this new rule accomplishes two things :
(1) virtually removes the need for white hat judgment on applying 3-4-6 on such plays.
(2) Removes the concern of some officials on a timing change in the last two minutes of a half as this has a major conceived drawback to the adoption of a NCAA-type rule on OOB plays.
IMHO, our New England Red Sox have won 9 games this season with "walk-off" hits. Pennant Fever has engulfed many
.
IMHO, these are only my opinions, and not those of any other person, place or thing.
