OK Snake-eyes. Just remember what you said when next week in a tight game and coach has no more time outs and he tells shooter to hold the ball while he sets up his defensive play before the shot...and this takes up to 20 seconds while he is discussing this with 2 of his guards near the bench who remain on the playing court...it's gonna happen...just wait and see.
Why would the coach want to lose a freethrow oppurtunity in a close game? Even though that's never going to happen, I will tell you right now what I would do if it did. I would go to the shooter and let him/her know that he/she only has 10 seconds to shoot the ball.
And then what?

I had never called one either....until I had a kid take what seemed like forever to shoot a throw. The next time, I counted and got to 13 before he shot. I warned him as you suggest. The next time, I got to 12...TWEET!

Wanna know what the coach said?

"I told you sooner or later somebody was going to call it on you!"
