In the old days, the calling team could shorten the length of time by returning to the floor before the expiration of time and the non-calling team would need to be ready for play. I think that rule probably changed with the advent of the 30 second time out, but I am not sure. Stuff that happened in the intervening 26 years is a bit fuzzy to me as to WHEN it happened.
