Would you put the ball in play or wait?

Ok. This was what I thought but wanted to hear it from someone else as well. Seemed like guys were kinda dancing around it. I've found as soon as I say "that wouldn't happen in my games" then that is exactly what happens to me so I'm glad we at least have the same opinion about the worst case scenario and the rule

Just grant him another timeout!

Ha! I almost proffered this earlier as a half ass (1/4 ass?) reasonable option. I know it's not an option by rule but I bet if somebody did it, he wouldn't dawdle ever again

And if he's out of timeouts, make sure you whack him as you do this!!

He was out of time outs.

As Rich said, wasn't an issue all game until the end.

Did have an issue with the coach being a clown taking 117seconds to get a sub in for a fouled out player. I wasn't the one administering the whole thing so I stayed out of it. V coach kept saying, "It's well past 20s."

Here, we are near the huddles trying to get them out before the second horn goes. It works fairly well as long as you dont have the guy(s) that after the first horn they wander off to wherever they are supposed to be when play resumes.

That's how we do it here, too, but occasionally you get one who just won't break huddle.

60s TO was called and after the 15s warning V come out onto the court ready to play. Ball is Vs for a throw-in under their basket. H team is also warned at the 15s warning and then is making zero move to be on the court after the 60s TO is over. I'm the lead to administer the throw-in. I walked a few steps onto the court to blow my whistle and tell H coach I'm putting the ball in play. Still blabbing and no sign of rushing his team out onto the floor.

Do you give V the ball?

Dad, so you are saying the V coach has been no problem all game and he has his players ready to play following an important time out near the end of the contest. On the other hand, the H coach has the audacity to act like a clown on all calls that he didn't like during the game to the point that you are giving him zero benefit of any doubt? I would say that is a major issue. And then he has the audacity to take an undeserved advantage by coaching his team in the huddle well-after this important time out ended? In my opinion, you and your partners should have put a stop to the "clowning" antics real early. Perhaps that might have prevented the coach from putting you on the spot later in the game. If not, and you went ahead and allowed V the throw-in, he would have had no one but himself to blame. I'm normally pretty easy going; but when a coach wants to play hardball, I can play that game too.
