I have to disagree with you on this Ol' Boy. First off, from the sound of the OP, it seemed apparent that the player was aware of the refs directions, as he
hustled right over and took the throw from the proper spot. You shouldn't have to stand there playing games with the thrower. I don't think anybody here would just drop the ball and start
their count without first giving the thrower-in a chance to get to the proper spot.

Nobody going to lose any money or die if you take a few extra seconds to get the teams out of the huddle or get the player to come over to you.

Nobody is making this claim at all, but it is poor game management on your part IMHO, to let teams take advantage of you by giving them those extra seconds. Are you controlling the game or are the coaches?
