I've driven my car 300,000 miles and I've never been in an accident. Should I stop wearing my seat belt?
The risk for injury seems obvious. The number of games you've done without such injury seems irrelevant. If someone reported an incident of injury, would your stance change?

A player could become injured by a draw string being outside of the shorts too, are you going to stop the game to tuck it in? A player's shorts could fall down and trip them up, are you going to stop a game to tell them to pull them up? If it does not present a realistic danger, there is no reason to stop the game. The player can tie their shoe WITHOUT us stopping the game. |

Stuff happens.
Shoes coming off, laces loose, something on the floor, blah blah blah. There is a certain line where we must play on - expensive and potentially dangerous glasses/contacts are completely different than shoes/laces coming off. I seriously doubt most coaches would approve of you blowing a play dead because some kid didn't do his shoes up well enough.

The AI Reeboks were the worst shoe I EVER saw, I'd have kids having to tie them 5 or 6 times a game. Like I said wait for a whistle and say get your laces and have EVERY player check their's, while you are at it. |

It's my experience that the majority of serious injuries happen during a "loose ball" - twisted ankles and elbows to the head during rebounding action, pile ons and skid marks diving on the floor, people diving over tables into the first row to prevent an OOB, etc. And this happens much much more frequently than a shoe coming undone. From now on in the name of safety I'm stopping play as soon as team control ends.
