I am glad too. Because I feel to think that stopping a game in the middle just because an untied shoe is very stupid. I guess you would stop play just because a kid made a move and lost the shoe and reacted by going back and getting the shoe without the ball. What are you going to do, give the ball back to the player's team because he/she wanted to tie their shoe? Be my guest on that one!!!! I do know this, you would have to T me up for that silly decision!!!!
You have every right to your opinion, and I do not want you to feel that you have that right, but in my opinion an untied shoe is NOT a safety issue on its face value. The official should have noticed that before he handed the ball to the player. I think the official did the right thing by asking for a timeout, but the player decided not too, all bets are off at that point. I am not looking for your approval, that is my opinion and I am sticking to that!!

Calling a timeout on the basis of safety is stupid? I guess I'm glad I live/coach/ref where people think that safety is smart, not stupid.
