I hope this isn't in a Fed game.

Yeah, I forgot that the warning isn't an official Fed mechanic. This is something we have been instructed to do in most of the conferences I work in. Warning, then ROP, then T.

Sure, I like to warn them, but it's not a "DOG" warning (at the FED level). It's just, "coach, timeouts are running a bit long, I need them ready to play at the second horn."

I've also found that it's extremely helpful (and practically required here anyway) to get into the huddle after the first horn. It's working here, I only put the ball down once or twice a season, and then only in ms level. High school coaches get it and are more likely to complain about the other team lagging than to try to stretch out a TO themselves.

And then, it is still not a T. You just put the ball on the floor again. If they want to give up a possession by being slow resuming play, that is sufficient. The problem takes care of itself.

Thanks, forgot to address that part.
