By the time you inform the coach, have the player take a seat and then start the 20 second replacement interval you just wasted 30-40 seconds that shouldn't have to happen. Are you telling me you would let the same player do this 5 times a game or more?

Can you quote the entire part of the rule that mentions "actionless contest", and how it applies in this situation? Would you use the same procedure to call a T on a player that travels 5 (or more) times in a game? After all, you have to stop the game, wait for player to step OOB to take a throw-in, etc., wasting all kinds of seconds that shouldn't have to happen, right?

Of course I wouldn't do it for traveling. That is just silly. I just let the other team in bound the ball. I am not waiting 20-40 seconds each time I send a player out to tuck in their shirt. 5 seconds to inbound the ball for the other team for a travel. This isn't even close to the same thing as multiple infractions of the uniform rule.

Rule: 10-1-5 Allow the game to develop into an actionless contest, this includes the following and SIMILAR ACTS:

b. Delay the game by preventing the ball from being made promptly live or from being put in play.

I could definately classify this under this rule but maybe a better option would be an unsporting tech according to Rule: 4-19-14

4-19-14An unsporting foul is a noncontact technical foul which consists of unfair, unethical, dishonorable conduct or any behavior not in accordance with the spirit of fair play.

if a player is overtly and blatantly violating a rule over and over again with no regard to the officials instruction I am gonna whack 'em. It is unfair because everyone else has to abide by the rule but they keep violating it on purpose. Whack. The dictionary defines unethical as "unwilling to adhere to proper rules of conduct." Whack!! Dishonorable means (according to the dictionary) "Lacking integrity; unprincipled." Whack!! They don't have the integrity to follow the rules that everyone else has to abide by and they keep wasting my time and everyone else's time making it an actionless contest. Whack again!!

I restate my previous question: Are you telling me you would let the same player do this 5 times a game or more?

Short of seeing a kid purposefully untuck his jersey, I'd probably just send him out.

Even that wouldn't do it for me. There's a rule to deal with it, just like for fouls, which cost a good 20-30 seconds each. And there's no way you'd have 8-10 incidents with the same player in four quarters. No kid wants to sit on the bench.
