(In soccer, if we were waiting we would call the more serious offense -- the later foul on the shot. But this ain't soccer . . . )
It's processing the play and making sure that he's right.

Lots of coaches are faster than me when identifying travels or fouls, but I have to actually be right -- and that means that all plays deserve that extra processing time.
