The correct idiom to have been used in sentence 1 is ‘hang on’, meaning ‘wait for a short time’. This sentence is incorrect. A player is said to have ‘hung up his boots’ when he/she decides to stop playing or retire. This idiom has been used correctly in sentence 2. “Hang around” means ‘loiter or wait around’.
