I am the coach of a 5th grade boys team. In our league the timeouts are 30 seconds and the time between quarters is about the same. There have been several situations where after a time out the horn will sound and I will send my team to the floor. The other team is still in their huddle and the Officials will instruct the coach to send his players to the floor. Most of the time the coach continues to keep them in the huddle for another 10-15 seconds. My understanding is that the Officials should warn the coach the first time and then call a T for delay of game anytime after the warning. Is this correct or am I missing something. BY the way we have the priviledge of using Varsity and low College Officials for our games.
I am asking this question so I have a better understanding of the rules (Not griping) and how Basketball Officials view this.
