Ah, the infamous, ancient times "Change Of Status" rule.
I remember it well.
I actually thought about that as statements in the thread were posted about using a timeout to avoid a ten second violation and getting a new ten seconds.
For the young'uns, and many not so young'uns, the "Change Of Status" rule stated that officials could not grant a request for timeout when 80% of a count had passed (four for five seconds, eight for ten seconds), for example, on throwins, closely guarded, and ten seconds.
I actually had to use this odd rule a few times before it was taken out behind the barn and ceremoniously and humanely shot and put out of its misery.
