Mick, I am with you!

What is the problem with "stopping play" when you notice a player in need of getting his equipment straightened out.

As an official, my first concern is the well-being of the players on the court. If this means "blowing the whistle" to create an opportunity for a player to tie a shoe, so be it! (Especially as a Jr. High, aka middle School, player) "Sharks with briefcases" are not my concern, but they are out there....

Happy New Year!
