Change Of Status

Old rule from about twenty years ago; change of status. A change of status was about to occur when eighty percent of a timing count situation had past: four seconds on a five second inbounds throwin (which had to touch an inbounds player within five seconds), four seconds on a five second closely guarded situation, and eight seconds on a ten second back court count. When a change of status was about to occur, a time out could not be granted allowing the team to avoid the five or ten second violation. In other words, when you got to four of a five second count, or when you got to eight of a ten second count, you could not grant a time out.
