First, let me say that player safety is the
primary importance of having rules and officiating. Consider this, B1 has the ball and a team A player gets seriously injured, I hope that you call an injury timeout. This is not about losing a shoe, we're talking about tripping or twisting an ankle, etc.
If you are against the time-out, I don't see why there can't be an inadvertent whistle. The clock would then stop for an official reason, and the player can tie her shoe.
