Had a team a couple of weeks ago that's notorious for being late out of time-outs. Also had an R whose personal pet peeve is teams being late out of time-outs.

R's pregame speech emphasized the "let's be ready to play on the second horn", but sure enough, they were slow getting out of the TO.

On the second TO, this team was going to be on defense, and the throw-in was going to take place right next to their bench. Since I had to be over there anyway to administer the throw-in, I stood right next to their huddle. About a second after the 2nd horn, they were still huddling, so I blew my whistle as hard as I possibly could for about 3 seconds, about 3 feet from the coaches ear.

They weren't late coming out of a TO for the rest of the night.
