ABSOLUTELY, a lot of good ideas and practical advice. However, sometimes we fall into patterns, make assumptions or young players or excited coaches don't (or forget) to convey their intentions as well as we should.
The fall back position is "advantage/disadvantage". If a "late" request is made to move the ball, is either team gaining/suffering an unfair advantage by doing so? Was this a simple oversight, or a constant nagging, can it be accommodated without any serious disruption, and perhaps most importantly, is this the best opportunity for you to assert your superior knowledge of the fine points of the rules and your management and control authority?
Sometimes being technically correct isn't all it's cracked up to be, it really all depends on the specific situation you're dealing with, and demonstrating flexibility can be a useful asset.
