My stance on this rule was changed by the members of this board and I need some help now. The rule says a timeout cannot be called after the 4th quarter or any extra period. I was told that this means during any extra period instead of after any extra period. The word after should be used with extra period to me. After the extra period is the only thing that really passes the common sense test.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not challenging the board over this. I agree, but I need something concrete to present to others. I know there is something similar in the rule book but I just can't think of it. I did send an email to NFHS and I tried to make it right down the middle so they didn't know which way I was leaning. I would appreciate it if someone can give me something from someplace in writing or a "it is the same as" reference. Thanks.

Read 5.12.3 and 5.12.4 in this year's casebook. It may or may not be more clear than the rulebook...even though some of the same wording is used.
