Six minute stall from out of nowhere

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?
