After a successful field goal by Team A in the last two minutes of the 4th or extra period:
A. Team B asked for a substitution
B. Team B and Team A made a substitution
Question: In the above both situation, Team A asked for a time-out. Under the latest rule changes of FIBA 1998-2002, is Team A allowed for a time-out?
Please take note that Charged Time-out opportunity begins "when the ball becomes dead and the game clock is stopped". Of course, no charged time-out is permitted for the scoring team, BUT in the above situations ball is dead and the game clock is stopped because of the substitution.
We would like to thank all co-officials who will give their time to enlighten this situation.
