What would you do when a players shoe comes off ??, is this a safety concern, i don't think so.
My suggestion to a player who tells me that their shoelaces is untide is to respond. "Make sure it does happen again else it's a technical foul", after laughing all the way up the court i would look at them and suggest that they tie the laces in a double knot.
and no i would not stop the play or give a technical, mind you along the same lines when a rebounder on a free throw asks "How many shot", just after i as the lead am steping out of the lane i always respond with "17" or " would you like to use your "pull the audience lifeline".
The best however was when a defensive player asked "How many ref" just after i indicated that we had "1" shot remaining before i could respond, the offensive player beside the defensive player responded "2" and smiled.
I smiled along with him and watch as he obtained the easiest
offensive rebound and put back of the game.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
