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.

I agree with this. Someone needs to aggressively DRAG the team out onto the floor. It can be done, and it can be done in a graceful manner. Putting the ball on the floor should be the very, very last resort.
