Good. No one, least of all the officials, should be out of position due to up-tempo play. Offenses already have enough of an advantage knowing the play and where the ball is going. The defenses are already having to expend more effort to compensate for misdirection, fakes, etc. let alone not being able to substitute in a timely manner. Teams that want near continuous offense can play basketball.
