2. Instead of a delay warning...tell them to find a spot.."I'm bouncing the ball to the shooter in 3 seconds. If you're in the lane when the ball gets to him, it'll be a violation." Bounce it on 3. Call the violation. They had the chance to find a spot.
Hate to have to repeat myself but:

1) There is no NFHS rule that will allow you to issue a delay of game warning. If you think differently, please cite the rule.
2) Doesn't the mechanics manual tell us that the L isn't supposed to administer the FT until all players along the lanes are set?

There's no rules justification for either suggestion of your's.
