I suppose the alternative of keeping the throttle on to some degree, while using the rear brake to control whether the bike is accelerating or deceleration, would accomplish the same thing. Doing that, not only do you never have to worry about drivetrain slack since it is always being tensioned in the same direction, but the on-off throttle issue is bypassed. Either way it does take fine control to do it accurately and precisely, whether you are manipulating the clutch or the rear brake. I can and do use both methods, but started using primarily the clutch for finer control and the brake for more gross control.

Practice!
