Again there must be an NBA rule or circumstance that is at play here we know little about.

Peace

Normally you would let them move. But this situation becomes a problem if the referee doesn't stop it. A1 moves, then B1 moves to match him, no problem. A1 moves again, to get away from B1, and B1 moves to match, we're starting to sense a pattern here. Now A1 moves yet again, and B1 follows. Then A1 moves yet yet again, and B1 follows.

When do you say enough is enough?

Seems to me to easily fit section 1 of the delay of game portion.

Oddly enough, this could be a double T in a Fed game for the same reason. Rule 10-3-6a. No free throws, go to POI for resuming play, but each player now has 1 T and 1 more foul towards disqualification. There's no provision for a warning under the Fed.

But there's always the unwritten provision for a well placed, "Alright guys, knock it off!"

Agreed, and it's probably best to issue this informal warning before dropping th double hammer; most of the time.

"OK guys, the ball is going to the shooter in 3 seconds, anyone not in a spot at that time will be commiting a lane violation...3....2....1....bounce".

Poppovich's criticism hasn't hurt Crawford. He's done two games since then.
