Unfortunately, stalling is a part of the game when there is a time limit. As long as the coach doesn't yell out to walk over the plate, or come out with 4 straight shoe laces untied, or any of the other blase efforts to stall, I let them do it, if they're within the rules. Now, originality counts. You stay within the rules, and do something differnt, you might get away with a little more. Just don't tie shoe laces.
Had that tried one year. Cannot remember which player did
it first, say F3, then F6 yelled for time too. At that point
I told everyone to tie their shoes. The next one would not
be granted a time, but would play as they were.

Funny, no one else needed to tie their shoe.
