My partners stated that an excessive time-out is not one of the correctable errors and they had no. Any feed-back would be helpful.

Penalized when discovered: A team shall not request an excess timeout; Team technical foul. The penalty for an excessive timeout is assessed when discovered.
No time constraints. The scorekeeper can inform the officials about the excessive time out several live balls, dead balls, started clocks, stopped clocks, later; even up to, but not beyond, the officials leaving the visual confines of the gym. If the excessive timeout is taken in the first period, the scorekeeper can inform the offcials late in the fourth period, during a live ball, or during a dead ball, and the offcials are still going to penalize.
