This is exactly what I said in the earlier thread.
granting time-out as player goes oob
Everybody else here rolled their eyes when I suggested this. If this is true, when the airborne player requests a timeout then lands out of bounds before the whistle/signal, he commits a violation. The consensus was that when the official recognizes the legal request, it is considered to be instantly granted, so the interval before the signal is irrelevant, and no violation. If all this is true, if I recognize a timeout request
before the buzzer, and the team has no timeout, how can it not be a technical?
