I understand what you are saying, but what about the player who gets injured because he didn't stop to tie his shoe and sprains and ankle or worse? Also we are supposed to be watchful of advantage/disadvantage, isn't that a big disadvantage for one player to be down the court giving 4 on 5... or say the person with the ball has his shoe untied and the defense is on it... s/he can't move. Just some thoughts (not argueing...yet
)
