What would you do?

What I cannot believe is that they don't have a penalty shot clock for players like this. 6 minutes to shoot the match ball is ridiculous and inexcusable. I would have complained to the TD after the first 2-3 minutes.

This. A guy once told me he had two speeds. If I didn't like the first one, I sure wouldn't like the other one.

I'd ask him if he likes to gamble.

You'd have to gamble pretty high just to cover the table time.

Seriously, it's really difficult to take a single shot out of context and pass judgment on how it was handled. For all we know, we could be watching one of the top 5 players from Japan about to get beaten by a B player. I know if I were on the hill against a player I deeply admired, I might take an extra minute to gather my nerves.

That said, I f^&@ing hate slow-play and think anyone who takes more than a minute to shoot should be penalized. Anyone who takes more than 5 minutes should be shot on site. Anyone who takes more than 8 minutes should be fed to wild animals.

I would have waited until he was really about to pull the trigger and then call for a ref to pick up the magic rack.

After the third minute, I'd probably walk past and crop-dust the guy.

If he still makes it, more power to him.
