You can also slide to the side of the bag and reach back... I'd like to see data both on safety and success rates for each one before making a call.
Either way, I agree, a team probably shouldn't on their own put themselves at a competitive disadvantage by voluntarily imposing rules on itself. So if this is a problem, then the proper way to deal with it would be to change the rules like they have with catcher's interference (which I support).
