A player can stop and tie his shoe anytime he wants too. If he sprains his ankle, it's not because you didn't stop the game to let him tie it. It's because he didn't tie it properly to begin with. When a player steps onto the floor, he's required to be properly equipped. I see no reason to believe that he doesn't have a responsibility to make sure his shoes are properly tied.

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.

The player placed himself at a disadvantage when he didn't properly tie his shoe. It's like MOFFICIAL said. Tie a double knot and there won't be a problem.
