A case for clocks - fast rolling

My game is rusty...I have been away from tournament bg for 15 to 20 years. So, I thought it might be fun to play tournaments again. Doing quite well, I get to the place where cashing is probable. There were no complaints about my fast rolling (which only happened in bear-offs) during games 1 thru 9. Now, we get to DMP and I have a closed board. Opponent, bearing in has to leave a shot. He reaches for the dice. I roll. He withdraws his hand and asks if I know the rule about fast rolling. He explains that he had not picked up his dice and since I had rolled that my roll would stand, but he now can change his move (which would have resulted in my hitting) to another move with full knowledge of my roll. That meant that he won. Enjoy!

This is my case for clocks.
