What to do?

Ah, much clearer now. So in an NCAA game if one team takes the court and the other continues to huddle at their bench just prior to the throw-in to start the 2nd half, the NCAA official CANNOT put the ball on the floor or hand it to the throwing team without a defense present, whichever the case may be?

Ok, so what's the rule for the sitch in my OP, then, in NFHS? One more minute then a T? If no RPP, then what are the "regular delay provisions?"

I also looked in this year's case book, and this ruling isn't there.

I would have to believe that if your state association demands that the adult coach be present during play then you would have to wait and if the delay is in excess of one minute, then assess a team technical foul under 10-1-5a, but if the coach isn't required then use the RRP or get the team out there and play.

Lastly, someone else did point out to me that the comment from that case play was dropped this year. However, the words still appear in the rules book in 4-38.

10-1-5a, that's what I was looking for. Don't know why I didn't think to look under actionless contest.

Thanks

Regarding previous posts that have refered to a violation, or a foul, after one minute: Here in Connecticut, we have been instructed to put 9 minutes on the clock at the start of halftime, and instruct the table personnel to inform the teams at the three minute mark. After nine minutes, the first horn goes off, after 45 more seconds have passed, the 15 second warning horn is sounded, and finally, after 15 more seconds have passed, the final horn is sounded, at which time we are supposed to start the second half.

That's just weird. Why not just have 10 minutes on the clock? Instruct the timers to hit the horn with 1:00 left, and again with :15 left. It's the same thing.
