Discussion last night on stopping live play for shoe being untied.
1.) A has ball, B is on defense. A is in the front court setting up a play. A1 says my shoe is untied. Referee stops play and begins game from point of interruption.
2.) Referee sees A1 shoe untied. A is setting up offense in the front. Referee stops play and tells player to tie his shoe. Then begins play from point of interruption.
3.) After made basket by A, during the brief deadball time, before B grabs the ball. Referee stops play so A can tie his shoes.
The 3 officials I talked to all said they would not stop play if A was on defense and A's shoe came off. But they would stop play in the 3 situations above, using rule 5-8-2D(Referee stops play for any other situations or any emergency).
What are your thoughts. I have always let them play on and just said tie your shoe. Or if they said timeout my shoes untied, I granted a timeout. What are your thoughts?
