'nuff said. It is the coach's responsibility.
As for the timing, in Florida we have a twenty minute halftime mandated by the state association. The field clock is set to 17:00 and starts when both teams have left the field. When the 17 is done, the clock is reset to 3:00 for the warmup. If the team is not ready at the end of that 3 minute period, we have rule coverage.
