There's no such thing as 'official's time' (except for at the bar after the game
) so you can't do this.
You can blow the ball dead if there's a player safety issue but generally not while the team with the ball is attacking the basket. I've never considered an untied shoe or a missing shoe to be a safety issue. Strictly speaking this applies to seriously injured or unconscious players at the higher levels, more judgement required as the player's age and level of competition goes down.
