happened twice and both times the coach went with the timeout.
Are you serious?
The T-word way of handling it seems quite juvenile to me.

Also, I have a major problem with him making up his own rule to stop the game one time for a team to tie a shoe. There is no provision in the rules which allows him to do this. He is simply making up his own rule. Why only do it once, if you are going to break the rules once, why not twice or three times?

Don't do stuff like this is my advice.
