Yeah, I wasn't serious about faceoffs for your scenario, sorry, should have kept it serious.
Double Tapouts were removed because they weren't consistent, in some situations it was a huge penalty, almost as bad as a 30 second, in others it was no penalty at all.
I have a feeling that your suggestion wouldn't really penalise a team, if they do it well, they will be level with the play, so it's almost a 3 vs 3 situation anyway (unless I've misunderstood it). I wouldn't see myself using it (but I've not tried it, and am willing to)
I have no problem with 30 second penalties, and have called them in the past. Every court has a door somewhere, or worst case keep them on court by the refs position. It's easy enough to check the clock at the start, and check it again 30 seconds later. NAH rules mandate a timekeeper, so that makes it even easier.
But, overall, I don't really see the need for a penalty between turnover (restore possesion), 30 seconds (restore advantage), 2 minutes (restore goal chance)
