Around here, most schools do a little "senior night" presentation to their senior athletes at their last home game. Usually it's pretty quick, but sometimes it can drag on for up to 15 minutes if they have a lot of seniors. It's never been an issue until last year. After sitting their for 15 minutes, the visiting coach asked if his team could have a 5-minute warm-up period before we started the game since his team had been sitting for 15 minutes. We granted it (to both teams) and then the home coach started grousing saying that the visiting coach was being "rude." We ended up starting the game about 20 minutes past scheduled starting time.

Anyone encounter that before or have ideas how to handle it?

Thanks in advance,

I know my AD contacts the opposing AD beforehand. Our timeline goes like this:

end of JV game
senior ceremony
start of 15-minute warmup period
lineups
anthem
tipoff
