I myself am more lenient during jr. H.S. games but for H.S. freshmen and above I go by what the Rules Committee wants and that was spelled out in the 1963-64 rule book. That means it is a player's responsibility to keep his/her shoes tied and suffer the consequences if it comes untied.

Thanks for that enlightenment.
I am a worrier.
I see one of those long shoe laces being stepped on and the wearer falling on the floor and splitting his head open, closely followed by a shark with a breifcase coming out of the stands.
