From what I've read over the years, even though I would stop play with glasses on the floor, I would work with Bart in a blink!

Okay, okay, maybe I over-reacted a little. But, I can't imagine NOT stopping the play with a pair of glasses or a hearing-aid loose in the middle of things. If it's out at half-court, and the kid is trying to find it, and there are no other players around, I'd keep an eye on it. But in the key, stop the play!! Glasses and hearing aids are EXPENSIVE, and slippery and breakable with lots of little parts and shards of glass everywhere -- not my idea of a good time. I think I would try to hold off a second if a shot is imminent, but I don't see why going to the arrow for possession would be a huge problem. That seems a lot less messy than cleaning up a broken whatever, or rescuing a player with a turned ankle or bruised tailbone.
