Time-out after a delay of game.

[Ed Hickland]

Situation 2...You can't penalize a team twice for the same offense. I would have listened to the BJ and determined the delay was first. Then not charged the timeout.

You have to use some discretion because in reality the lack of aggressive action by the BJ caused the team to unnecessarily take the timeout.

Also, as a referee I would talk to the BJ on being demonstrative on throwing the flag and making sure he has alerted the referee when a delay occurs.
