Thanks, Rich.
My first big tournament, had a blowout quarter-final game, one team ahead by 25, both teams anxious for game to end. I had a situation not really similar, but related to this one. I corrected it, making both teams stand around for 1-2 minutes in the process. I was mildly criticized by my evaluator who said, in no uncertain terms, just let it go.
A good example of how officiating is not just about the rules.
