Sorry Mark, but I beg to differ. Although I can appreciate the rules being enforced, there are times when commen sense must take over. I watched the game, but missed the play you are speaking of, so maybe I missd something. However, assuming that this was not an intentional play stopage, safety of the players comes first.
I am sure that I do not speak alone, but even tough I double tie my laces, I have had a shoe come untied numerous times in 13 years of officiating. I would have no problem holding up a throw-in so I could tie my shoe.
The last thing an offical wants is for a player to break a bone (or worse) simply because the offical did not give him or her 10 seconds to tie a shoe.
Just my 2 cents worth.
