Delay after TO

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

We do not have the luxury of deciding which rules we are going to enforce and which rules we are not going to enforce. I grant you that the resuming play procedure has to be enforced from the start of the game. If you have been doing your job then you should have no problem enforcing at the end of the game. If it results in a team scoring a "cheap" basket because it has played by the rules and its opponent has not, so be it. If an official does not want to enforce this rule at the end of the game after enforcing all game long then maybe the official should find a different line of work.
