I agree with BktBallRef about how this should be handled and will do this but I do not think the rule and case are ideal for us, the officials. Basically, we are allowing the coach to huddle with his players until you ask for 2 players to fill the bottom lane spaces. We also do not have a clear sense of how long to allow the coach before responding to our request to send the 2 players to the fill the lane spaces. I believe the rule should be clearer and not allow the coach to huddle when he should not be allowed to. It seems like a loophole that coaches will and do use.
To continue with this thread... What happens when both teams huddle in this same situation where there is no time out? How should this be handled by officials?
