However, I only clean the plate when absolutely necessary or at times when the ball becomes dead and it is needed.

I would advise you to call time at any point that you are not able to monitor what you need. It eliminates ambiguity--all it takes for one team but not the other to think you are in an implied time-out and bam! You're in hell!
