Recently I was doing a boys Sophomore game. H is up 25 to 20, so it's no blowout. V has been hunkering down in a zone.

(no shot clock in our state) H starts the 3rd quarter by giving the ball to their point guard who stands at half court all alone dribbling away. V goes back to their 2-3 and just stands. All 10 players are standing still while one just happens to be a good 20 feet from the others dribbling by himself. Both coaches start to ignore each other and gives their players winks and other little signs of encouragement.

As I sat there through 30 seconds, 1 minute, coaches not breaking, 2 minutes, coaches do nothing... then the fans started to get into it. Small school rivalry. Both sides are calling out the opposing coach for either the stall or not breaking the zone to play man.

Finally the V coach calls a player over to the bench. While he is there the H team runs a play, hits a jump shot. No more stall the rest of the game. H wins by 12.

Funniest moment of the whole thing: the point guard gets bored around the 4 minute mark and dribbles through his legs to break things up. The crowd(on both sides) ERUPTED! You would have thought he hit a game winning three. One dribble through his legs was the most exciting thing that had happened all quarter up to that point.
