Home team finally runs through their spirit line, then huddles up kick receiving team on sideline. White gives two warning whistles. Should we have had a delay penalty?
3-6-3 says a team shall be ready to play within 2 minutes after being ordered to do so by the referee. Would this apply? The penalty for this is a forfeit. Any thoughts

If you're going to do anything, this situation is covered in 9-8-1-g-2 (unsportsmanlike conduct charged to the head coach).
