Another Point Of View ...

Turnabout is fair play.

1998-99 NFHS Basketball Rules Interpretations: Situation 8: A1 is dribbling the ball in the frontcourt. The ball bounces off his leg into the backcourt. As A1 goes into backcourt to retrieve the ball, the head coach requests a time-out. Can the time-out request by the head coach be granted by the officials? Ruling: No. Team must be in player control when the verbal or visual request is made by the head coach and recognized by the official. (5-8-3a)

Wow! The red phrase doesn't even include the word grant!

Is this a strong citation for the request (not the grant) being the important parameter?

Is this a drop the microphone moment?

Or a twenty-three year old forgotten interpretation?
