Me, I'm going exactly the opposite. I agree with the second, but not the first. I'm going to ask the coach once, maybe even twice if the players are still on the floor, "Full or 30, Coach?" Then if I get no answer, it's a full.

On the second one, I'm definitely going to try to nudge the kid out of the lane before I blow the whistle. I'd rather not call 3-seconds, if I can avoid it. If I can get the kid to avoid the violation, that's what I'll try to do. If he ignores me or is just brain-dead, then I have to call it after a while. But the whistle is definitely not my first tool in this situation.
