In the original situation this all happened after a free throw and then the ball was handed to the player(by who?)
The time to get this shoe tied was before the last free throw, sounds like neither official was checking the players
prior to this. If the it was the official who handed the ball to the girl he should have blown his whistle and let this player tie their shoe I can see no advantage gained either way at this time. Did this official allow for extra time in his count since he was conducting a Q & A with the thrower in? If there was no pressure on the ball and this was a uncontested throw in why not stop and let this player tie their shoe. There might be some circumstances when this would not be possible (contested throw in and the count running out) where you would penalize the defense. In these cases you may just want to see what happens and get the shoe at the next opportunity. I find very disturbing that some here think its ok to talk a player out of violations and fouls but will not take the time to prevent injuries when it has no bearing on the play.
