Whichever team was behind, offense or defense, was responsible to "Play ball". Tied game, defense was responsible to "Play ball".
If instructed to "Play ball" the offense had to move the ball past the hashmarks. If the defense was responsible they had to initiate a five second closely guarded count.
Not sure, but one "Play ball" warning per team per quarter, technical foul after the warning.
This was the Pleistocene Epoch version of the shot clock.
