To me, I would say if he is not doing something to get his team ready or getting someone on the court, that would be a delay of game. Am I right or wrong?

Absolutely wrong. I get 30 secs by rule - how I use it is up to me. If I don't do or say anything to warrant an unsportsmanship T (and, no, anticipating your next question, doing nothing for 30 seconds is not unsportsmanlike), you got nothing. Maybe I am contemplating the consequences of various substituion patterns for the last 1:28 of the game, or maybe I am just POd. It's not relevant to you. Just let me steam, and T me up if I am late with my sub.
