And how to put their socks on(to prevent blisters), IMS. I've heard that, too, from the idiot red-head if I remember correctly.

FWIW, There was a video bulletin this year for NCAAW regarding this type of situation, and the directive was to allow play to continue until a team is granted a timeout.

What if there's a foul? Or a violation?

In the first half of a D3 game this year, a defensive player says to me, "Ref, my shoe's untied!" during the play. I'm C, bench side, so I hear it and his coach hears it. The coach says, "That's a safety issue! You gotta blow the whistle!" I just said, "Not while they're on offense, Coach."

Offense takes a shot, defensive rebound, outlet pass, TWEET! Kid says, "You takin' away a fast break?" I said, "It's a safety issue."

I didn't say, "Don't try to screw around with me again."
