REPLY: Just a piece of advice on crew technique during a timeout: The wing official on that team's sideline should be over near the sideline huddle and ensure that:
* The huddle(s) takes place on the field within 5 yards of sideline
* There are no more than 11 people in the huddle(s).
* That there are no more than 3 attendants in the huddle.
* No players are making use of the coach's headset
* He (official) knows of any substitutions taking place--replaced player leaves the field.
* No players intending to remain in the game leave the field
* The team is prompt in returning to the field when the R informs them that the TO is over.
