JohnBark:
In your initial posting, you do not indicate that you gave a blast on your whistle
before putting the ball down on the court and beginning the 5-second count.

As indicated on Page 50 of NFHS rulebook (7-5-1)

ART. 1 … After a time-out (as in 7-4-4) or the intermission between
any quarter (as in 6-2-2), the resumption–of-play procedure is used to
prevent delay, The timer will sound the authorized warning signal and final signal.
The administering official will then sound the whistle to indicate play will resume.


I agree with Mick that good game management would involve a little more proactive
(aka preventative) officiating; especially at this level of play.
