I have always stopped the clock for safety issues.
Where may I find a ruling to the contrary?
HELP!!!!!!!!!

Do you really stop the clock to let a player tie his shoe? I don't think the NF really wants us to stop the clock to allow a player to tie his shoe. I can't find anything in the rulebook that says to stop it or not stop it. But until someone tells me to, I'm not going to. I believe his team can hold the ball and allow the player to take three or four seconds to tie his shoe if it's that important. I see them do it all the time.

Tony,
Yeah. I have stopped the clock everytime if there is a lull (no one breaking to the basket, no fast break, just an offense coming down to floor) and, of course, the untied shoe lace has to be on offense.
It seems right to do it. I dunno.
I'm listening....
