If this is ongoing throughout the game I would do that. Especially when the team is causing a delay in the game. If there were any complaints then I can issue a Delay of game warning to the team, and any further delay for breaking the huddle would constitute a T. Lucky for me I have not had to do any of these things.

This isn't a "warning then T" delay situation.

If they are delaying the game from resuming as per rule 10-3-1 (d) how can it not be a delay of game warning.
Common sense would tell us that after teh warning the coach should get the picture. I know common sense isn't all that common anymore.

Common sense would tell us to follow the applicable rule, which is NFHS rule 7-5-1........ That rule does not allow for a "delay of game" warning, as Bob said. The ball is placed at the disposal of the thrower or on the floor and the 5-second count starts. Then you call a violation, if necessary. If the team you called the violation on continues to delay, then you can call a "T" on them. At no time, however, is a delay warning issued.
