I would ask -- exactly what did you do to prevent the situation from occurring?
[/B][/QUOTE]Know what, Rich? I don't know whether we really can prevent these situations from coming up. Some coaches just get so involved that they don't just don't know when they're supposed to get their kids back out there. I certainly agree that you don't want to be heavy-handed out there, and call this one right by the book. But, I don't think that you can really make a hard and fast rule that you're never going to call it either. Jmo, but I think that you have to almost look at every case before you make up your mind how to handle it. If I think that someone's getting an advantage out of taking some extra time that they're not entitled to, then, yes, I'd probably do something about it. It does bother me to see 5 players from one team out on the floor, all set to go, and the other coach keeping them waiting. Might sound wishy/washy, but I just think that there's too many variables(score,time left,warnings,etc) involved to say that I'd always handle these types of situations one particular way or another.
