But there was a rule for that... Charge a timeout. Which was not done... Why will with this new one be different?
I expect it will be much more acceptable to remove a player for a play than charge a team timeout. If you went that way, it's very possible you would use up all 3 of a team's time outs. The removal of the play still sends a stronger message than "please cover it" but not so punitive that crews were hesitant to go that route.

I agree 100%. You're preaching to the choir. It won't change a thing unless the supervisors buy in and force the issue. Like we said, we'll believe it when we see it.

If you stop the clock within the last minute of a half to send a player out for illegal equipment, it seems that this should be a 10-second run-off option unless a time out is taken.  Previously, if time outs were exhausted, there was a foul, which, if it caused the clock to stop, would provide a run-off option.
