At that point, it isn't fair to the team that is abiding by the general requirement to be ready to resume play at the second horn.

10 - 15 seconds? Good grief. Was it this coach's first game ever???
1) Sounds like he was doing it a lot - hit them on offense just once, and that should fix it. A lost possession is a more fair penalty than a free 2 pts for the other team.
2) That said ... 10-15 seconds? I probably would have put the ball in play for the other team as well --- after maybe the 2nd offense even. That's a LONG time.
