I still think Clarkson's idea of team prior opportunity when it comes to handballs is a good idea. Where player A has the ball and handballs it to player B, player B loses all prior opportunity and the moment he is tackled it is awarded a free kick, stopping players doing tiny handballs in packs that are almost certainly going to result in more stoppages.
A team prior opportunity when it comes to handballs would force players to try and get the ball out of tight congested packs really quickly, rather than trying to methodically and slowly do 5 or 6 handballs to find one player who has space.
