Play Ball ...
Back in the olden days, the officials would have instructed the defense, because they were behind, to "Play ball". They would then have to move into position so that an official would have to start a five second closely guarded count. If they didn't comply, I believe that a a technical foul would be charged to the team. I'm sure that Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. will be moseying by shortly to confirm, or deny, this.

Wouldnt that be something close to what the NBA Defensive 3-second rule is?

Only in the sense that a player has actively guard an opponent (within arm's length and actually playing the man) when within the key...but then again, they can also terminate the count if they exit the key or get a deflection on the ball.

When this happens, the coaches should get together and decide how long the stall is going to last. Then, shorten the quarter to account for that and resume play.

That would be nice. Should the R facilitate the conversation?

Only thing I worry about in these situations is if I can remember if the ball-handler already used his dribble.

I can't remember if it was an immediate technical foul, or a warning, to be followed by a technical foul. It was thirty years ago. Give me a break.

It wasn't that long ago. This is my 26th season and we worked under these rules for a couple of years, at least. I'm guessing the rule was scrapped about 1990 or 1991.
