He lost his shoe going to the basket and came in contact with a defender as they all fell to the floor. I have no idea why he lost his shoe (they did not shoe a replay for why) I just know he lost his shoe.

Because there are no rules that say we should stop play for this. You keep talking about what you think, but you have shown absolutely no rule the back up your claim the game must be stopped. I am sure the NF considered this at some point but did not think it fit what they wanted. I am sure a shoe coming off is not anything new in the last year. I have seen this happen many times but there is no rule that supports stopping the clock. I guess if a defender gets faked out of their shoes (I have seen this happen) and the dribbler is going to the basket, we should stop the clock immediately because it is a safety issue.
