Then he doesn't no much about the game of basketball.

So, if A delays in returning from the TO, according to 7-5-1, we put the ball on the floor and begin the 5 second count.

But when B delays, we wait and wait and wait, and then if they don't come to play, give them a delay oif game warning. Sorry crew, I don't mean to offend you but that's horsesh*t and it smells just that bad.

There's nothing cheap about it. B gets 3 warnings before you hand the ball to A. Let me review what I posted.

First horn sounds.
The official at B's bench says "First horn, A's ball!" to B's bench. That's B's first warning.

At the second horn, blow your whistle.
That's B's second warning.

Mentallly count two seconds.

Blow your whistle again.
That's B's third warning.

Hand the ball to the thrower, if the defense is delaying.
That's their last warning. I guarantee that won't need another warning.

My supervisor will be talking to me if I don't follow this procedure, as it is required by our NCHSAA handbook.
