Ok, here's one for all of you. I got this tricky question from a coach:
During an interrupted dribble (coach did not use these words, obviously), A1 requests a timeout (I know, the request should NOT be granted, however the offical blew his whistle and some ruling had to be made). Here are the three scenarios I thought of now that play has stopped:
1)Erroneously grant the timeout as in casebook 5.8.3 sit E
2)Inadvertant whistle, go to the AP
3)Call a technical foul on A (thought it would be a team technical) for requesting a time-out when not having team control (assuming this was not an excess time0out)
He said this happened to him in a game and wanted to know how I would handle it.
After a few responses, I will tell you what happened in his game, and what I told him I would do.
I hope this generates some discussion!
