Come on Chuck! There is no way you are going to call that in a college game, and you know it. Be honest.[/b]

As others have said, I doubt it would come to that in a college game. But if it did, I don't see what could be wrong with handling it with a double T. Both players were delaying. Neither would listen to my instructions. Why shouldn't I whack 'em? If a coach is on the floor and I tell him 3 times that he needs to find his box, but he doesn't. . . whack! I don't see how this is different.
And as I said earlier, you send exactly the message that you want (Knock it off now, or you're done!) without disrupting the game (no FTs, no change of possession). As far as I can tell, it's a win-win solution. What am I missing?

I would love to be there to hear your explanation. "Mr. Assignor, I couldn't get them to hold their spots on the lane for a FT so I whacked them." Can you honestly say that your assignor is going to say "I am glad you were there to take care of it."

If I tell him it was necessary, then yes, I believe that he would say "Way to keep the game moving."
