Issue a delay of game warning for not allowing the ball to be put into play.

There is NO rule that will allow you to issue a delay-of-game warning in this situation. Iow, very bad advice. [/B][/QUOTE]

Jurassic,

If you are saying that a T is the correct call here, I disagree. I have tried to suggest other ways to address this matter. I presented to you the identical situation in a state championship final and another example at the college level where an official T'd up a team for violation of time out readiness. You have said that you are an assignor. You know, referees get reprimanded, suspended, and fired for such things and for you to suggest otherwise is irresponsible to the future career of such an official. You may not like my ideas, and I did not say it was the best, just an alternative and that something like this would never happen in my game because it wouldn't have gotten so far as I would have managed it differently.
