HUSTLE
Personally, I hustle into the lane (from the lead position)and secure the rebound before it hits the floor. I have found that if I am catching the ball out of the net, players don't enter the lane to slap hands.... I'm ready to give the ball to the shooter for his second attempt and now they are noticeably slowing down the game if they enter the lane. It is easy for me, if I'm standing there with the ball, to say "Hold your positions." or "Here we go. One shot."
If they are slow witted and can't figure it out, I can always say "Gentlemen, I'm waiting for you. Let's go."
Later I could say "Gentlemen, didn't we already talk about this? You don't really really want me to walk over to the table and give your team a warning for delay. Let's hold your spots and shoot these free throws."
