i would give b a delay of game warning. they do it again delay of game tech. giving a team a cheap score is just.................cheap! try to do every thing possible to keep the game fair. would you give team A the ball in a tie game with 3 sec. on the clock 4th qtr. if yes and i was your partner i would blow my whistle and stop you!

You bet I would!! If B delays, it's not me that lost the game for them!! Is it fair for B to get warning after help after grace when A is following the rules and remaining in the spirit and flow of the game? Sure, A is getting an advantage, but it's not an illegal advantage. In fact, it's an illegal advantage for B if the referee bends the rules so that B can finish its now illegal huddle. If my partner blew the whistle and stopped me, I'd have words to my assignor later!
