Re: Re: Quick player
Think about this play. A1 saves the ball and yells, "Timeout! as he's in flight and lands OOB before you grant the request. Are you going to penalize him and give the ball to B because you couldn't blow the whistle before he landed OOB?
Good point BktBallRef. I have had at least 2 or 3 of these airborn timeout requests this year. Luckily I have blown the whistle while they are in the air, but would still grant them the timeout if I heard it and didn't blow my whistle before they landed.
Sidenote: Some coaches have asked if a player can still call a timeout while in the air and falling out of bounds. They state that it is now illegal for the Pros to do it. I tell them NFHS still rewards a player for his quick thinking and athletic move.
