It seemed like every time we blew the whistle, somebody bent over to re-tie his shoes. I was getting very frustrated by the delays. So at halftime, my partner and I discussed it and we told both coaches that we were treating shoelaces the same as shirts not being tucked in. We were just going to send the kid to the bench and have him fix it there. We sent one kid off in the second half and didn't have another problem.
