Not that I would have done this, but it is what I thought of about seven years ago after I officiated a girls postseason contest in which one team held the ball for both the second and third quarters.

Otherwise, there is nothing for the officials to do, but stand there and observe.
many years ago I had a similar situation. At the start of the 3rd quarter, Team A inbounded the ball and held it until 1 minute to play in the quarter.
As soon as they threw the ball in the coach loudly instructed "Hold the ball until 1 minute to play". It was a girls game. Defensive team were doing cheers to pass the time. I was the lead and I had the thought.. "Did A1 dribble? What foot is the pivot foot?" Luckly, as soon as it hit 1 minute, A1 passed the ball.
