This is what we were taught, this is what we do, and (most) teams here know this.

Nobody is recommending setting the ball down exactly one second after the second horn. If I see a conscious effort to get on the court, fine.

No, sir. It's never about us. It's about moving the game along and not stalling. You had 30 or 60 seconds, including a 15-second warning. If you're still huddling after the second horn, and you're not coming out, whose fault is that?
