REPLY: Technically, it is not USC for the team not to be on the field for the mandatory three minute warmup, BUT once they get there, you MUST give them that three minute warm-up period, and that will cause "...The failure of a team to be ready to start either half." [NF 9-8-1g] The foul (USC against the coach) is not for being late for the warm-up period but rather for the "domino effect" failure for them to be ready to start the second half.
