Would a time stamp in 150 seconds of game play be that beneficial? Chances are you want this time stamp to compare to video which will under no circumstances be reviewed by officials. If the review is for internal benefits (which I totally understand) all you really need to know is the infraction and you can fish it out on your own. From personal experience I've delayed entering fouls until certain another ref hasn't entered or there is a lull in game play so I don't miss anything. The stamp could be way off. Sometimes I'll remember fouls in terms of "red robot with sick powder coating just pinned too long". Taking the time to track the numbers on the bumper is something I would do after the match. Entering this information real time would take too long. Even with a revised ref interface (which it is this year) it's still a lot of information to enter.

Think texting and driving. You actually lose a lot of time when you're entering fouls and scoring.
