well, of course.
But, it happens frequently enough that it should be used, imo. I see too many times where the second horn has sounded and the officials just wait for everyone to amble into position.
then in the second quarter, 9 of them amble, while the coach gets one more instruction in to the PG, and the officials wait.
Then in the third quarter, the team breaks, but meets again by the FT line ...
Then in the fourth quarter, they are still in the huddle.
