Shoe Laces ???

There is no NFHS rule that deals specifically with untied shoes, so during a live ball, especially with the clock running, I just let them keep playing until the ball becomes dead, and/or, the clock stops. I guess that the NFHS feels that if a player's shoes become untied, that the player will be smart enough to stop playing, thus preventing an injury. Even so, I'm always anxious to get to a point where I can allow the player some time to get the shoes tied. Which leads me to my question. Is there a NFHS rule that allows me to stop the game, during a dead ball (made basket), or when the clock is stopped, to give some time to a player to get his shoes tied? 2-3? Common sense? Spirit and purpose?
