We allow a team to huddle in the lane until we're ready to administer. What's the difference? None.

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.

Our job is to get them on the lane. If they don't respond, hit the T. If you do your job, there is no loophole.

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?

You only need the shooter for Team A. Get him there or call the T.
