Schmidt did warn the team.He blew his whistle said"there is no time-out.Lets play ball".

In that case, Schmidt should have called a T, not a double lane violation. Now Team A really has a gripe. They should have been allowed to attempt their FT's, they should have received 2 more FT's for the T, and they should have gotten possession of the ball.

IMHO, blowing your whistle and yelling, "there is no time-out. Let's play ball.", is not a very professional ore effective manner for giving a warning. One of the 2 or 3 officials should have walked to the huddle and told the coach that his/her players were required to be on the low blocks or a T could be called for delay.
