What should you do, what can you do etc.,

As long as he has two players on the blocks, the other three players are irrelevant.

No, he conferenced with his entire team. So we had a shot, a violation and then he was not ready still, so we had to give a T for delay.
First time, but the coach is young (should know better he's been as asst. coach in college for four years)
Thanks

Unless this was after a TO, you were incorrect.
You should have requested that he place two players in the lower spaces. If he refused, it's an immediate T for delay of game.
The violation for not filling the lower spots is part of the resumption-of-play procedure.

It was NOT part of a time out. If it was, then we could have used the resuming play.
I looked in the books for two days and could find nothing different or a way to handle the situation.
Like I said, I've never seen this before in my 10 years of calling.
But I was administering the FT, my partner told him coach we need two guys. He continued to conference, so I continued without him.
So, you're saying we should have given the T then?
The only thing I can find in the books is under Rule 9 and it says give the FT shooter a T if he delays coming to the line. But it says nothing about the two guys on the bottom blocks.
I don't have my book with me, but I did find in Rule 9 under violations (FT's) where it does say if a team continues to delay though give the T.
So I'm thinking administer, and they are then violating.
Then you give them a chance to get in place, and if they don't then give the T.
But I'm open to ideas.
Thanks
