When 2 Stop Play

[Ref Daddy]

Need opinion's here. Will you "stop play" for any of these that I have seen?

1) Untied shoelace
2) Player looses shoe on court
3) Items inadvertant from stands hit floor (battery, kids toys, rubber ball)
4) kid crashs into own bench and tumbles heels over head so hard we cannot even see if they are hurt or not
5) finger in eye - kid down in pain
6) infant/toddler stumbling around under the basket with no parent in site
7) water or puddles on floor discovered during play
8) net tangled up on rim
9) clock not statrted by scorekeeper
10) eyeglass's knocked to floor in a crowded lane

Safety is priority 1. Anything that jeopardizes a players\spectators safety , I would blow it dead. Untied shoelaces I would stop play for only if there is not a fastbreak going either direction.

1: never while play is going on, I might delay making a dead ball live for a moment while a player ties the laces.
2: I have both stopped play and let them play - safety is the issue - where is the shoe?
3: Have not experienced.
4: Normal injury procedures.
5: Normal injury procedures.
6: If ball at other end, wait until ball starts coming back in hopes toddler will leave the court, otherwise, blow it dead.
7: Yes - get it cleaned up.
8: Blow dead when you notice it if active scoring play is not in process.
9: Yell at timekeeper to start clock, if that doesn't work, blow dead if active scoring play is not in process. Yell for the arrow to be set/reset, if that doesn't work then wait until next whistle to "instruct" the table.
10: Always. For some, it is the only pair of glasses they own.

(1) When they have the ball and aren't attacking the basket
(2) Same as #1
(3) It matters what it is. Next dead ball, I'll pick it up or kick it out of the way.
(4) Next time they have the ball unless I think it's a head injury
(5) Next time they have ball
(6) Immediately
(7) Immediately
(8) Next time they have ball
(9) Do my football "start the clock" motion and if he doesn't, stop the clock.
(10) Immediately

Now now....don't make fun of the mentally feeble. I understand our poor friend was asked to leave journalism school. Couldn't handle the work. Sad...very sad.
