The officiating crew allowed this to continue all game. I'm not sure I would have. Has anyone seen a similar scenario? How would you handle it?

I know we are not supposed to go after gnats and ignore elephants, but DOG may be my favorite call. We used to run a fast break offense, (think LA Lakers Showtime with Magic Johnson but slower, shorter and with much less skill.) Nothing frustrated me more as a player than a team scoring then purposely knocking the ball away or delaying the game.
If it happens and it's borderline, it's a comment to the player. If it's not borderline, a DOG warning the first time it happens.
