shoe comes off

[MJT]

I just want to make sure on this one. I cannot find in the book where it covers this but have always stopped play when that players team got control of the ball unless they were on the attack.

In my freshmen game last week, and our varsity girls game at my school this Tuesday we both had to call a TO to get the shoe back on our players. Here is the scenario in both cases. My player lost his shoe while playing defense in the half court. Now I know his is not going to get it back at that time, but they made a shot and the official just let play continue. We came down and turned it over, they came down and scored, we take it out again and are coming down floor and I say something to the official about stopping the clock for the shoe and he says no, so I call a 30 second TO. I tell him I should not have to call a TO for that but get no response.

Is this in the book, or just a common courtesy ?
