"... that somebody who wants some extra thinking time might cock their dice over and over intentionally. "

I don't see much of a gain: once the dice have been thrown the first time, the cube can't be turned; as you don't know what roll is coming, there isn't much to think about for a play decision; the time gained (for a count?) is minimal unless you are really, really sure you are going to cock the dice -- you only gain the time between the two clock punches.

I would think this is a reasonable rule addition. Having the opponent push both buttons in succession would minimize the delay.
