If there is a dead ball why would you not make that player tie their shoe? Just because the rule book doesn't say you have to, it is common sense. If that kid take a face digger and loses 3 teeth, you could be held responsible. The way officials are getting sued these days, I am not going to take the chance.

Everyone thinks the "tuck-in-the-jersy" rule is to stop showboating, but it was for safety.

Rut- If a plaer dislodges a contact are you going to make that team take a full TO? It is no different than a untied shoe, and unless it repeatedly happens, where is the disadavntage.

I had a game a few years ago whre we had one kid who kept asking to tie his shoes. I told the coach during a TO, that the next time he comes on the floor there had better be tape on the shoe. Problem solved, no disruption to the game, and I'm sure Nike got a refund on thier ad dollars for the one shoe that was covered.
