Personnally, if A has the ball and play has settled ....no fast breaks, then i would stop play for the shoe, eye glasses, contacts, .....common sense officiating!

Having my shoe come off or anything that hinders my ability to do my job is an entirely different situation. I equate the shoe coming off to a kid who gets injured, but clearly not seriously. You let the play continue until a time when it's appropriate to blow the whistle and take care of the problem. That could be immediately or after a developing play. A player's shoe coming off is not that big of a deal, but people sure like to overdramatize things in this forum. Every situation is different and is usually dealt with accordingly. There's no absolute way of handling unusual situations - you just try to do the right thing, with safety being your first consideration.
