Play Ball ...

Back in the olden days, the officials would have instructed the defense, because they were behind, to "Play ball". They would then have to move into position so that an official would have to start a five second closely guarded count. If they didn't comply, I believe that a a technical foul would be charged to the team. I'm sure that Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. will be moseying by shortly to confirm, or deny, this.
