Officials Time out

[phansen]

A1 rebounds a missed FG attempt by B1. In the process, A1's shoe somehow comes off. Players have cleared out. A1 has complete possession without defensive pressure. Should an officials time out be taken to let the player get his shoe back on? Rules reference either way please.

[Adam]

Nope. No rule reference here, but the player needs to tie his shoes better.

I believe injury, eyeglasses and lenses are the only situations for play to be stopped without charging a time-out. Otherwise wait for a dead ball.

5-8-2 Note
5-11 Exception

I found 5-8-2d and 2-3 but was looking for something a little more concrete. In the absence of a specific rule, an argument could be made for a safety issue however I concede that may be a stretch.

There is nothing in the rule book that talks about a shoe coming off.

Just wait until the player trips and injures themselves, then you will be justified in calling an "officials" time-out.

Also, I don't think there is such a thing as an "officials" time-out. I believe it is just stopping play.

If a shoe comes off, call a toe truck.
