To answer a few of the questions,,,,,,
I have seen a coach direct a player to "drop" their gum on the court during a particularly heavy set of breaks, in order to give their players a rest.
"Look Ref, there is gum on the floor, we gotta get that up." From a 5A school. Have seen it happen many times over the years.
Have a choking episode to slow down the action.
Player B5 appears to choke and takes a knee around mid-court.
"Hey Ref, that kid is hurt!" From a repetitive state finals team. Happened over 10 years ago and last year while I was watching, not working.

If you haven't seen the cheap tricks, then you haven't seen the amount of ball that I have.

What rule do I use to justify my actions if forbidding gum?
Rule 2 Section 3

Like my old assignor used to say, "If you ain't got the balls to make the call, get off of the floor. The tough calls that are unpopular will tell you if you want to work a game or have the game worked on you."
