Failure to return by the end of the halftime is an unsportsmanlike. The team regardless of when they return MUST warmup for three minutes. They cannot warmup in the locker room.

BTW. If the teams return and the halftime activities are not concluded, a penalty is assessed to the home team. And, when the activites conclude, they MUST warm up for three minutes.

I am sure we have all bent that rule a few times.

You do what your state association tells you to do. That is the only thing that you MUST do.
