You can issue an immediate "T" to a player delaying the game under the language of R10-3-6(a), but you should be very, very careful in using that one imo.

I agree with the "be very careful" with that one... but I have had situations where I have come close to whacking a player for several of the "Not delivering the ball to the nearer official after it becomes dead" because they make a point of making you come get it, or "allowing" it to roll away from the officials in an unsportsmanlike manner.
BTW, what about considering that (the original situation) unsportsmanlike conduct? That's a technical foul - refusal to comply with directions given by the officials.
