You also have the option of not putting the ball in play, but walking over and giving the coach a delay of game with a T to fallow if he does this again.

Where is this specificed in the resumption-of-play procedures?
Anyhow, I won't put the ball down unless abslolutely forced. We WILL get them out of the huddle on the second horn if necessary and we will be aggressive in doing so.
Putting the ball down may get the team out of the huddle quicker the next time, but it absolutely ruins the working relationship we have with the teams. If we start five seconds or even ten seconds after the second horn once or twice, it really doesn't matter to me.
I haven't even seen this done in a few years. Last time was in a JV game and it was followed by a quick technical on the head coach.
