This is the same reason I disagree with the rule about not granting a time-out when an airborne player is heading out of bounds. If they want to burn a time-out to save a possession, why should it matter if they are airborne or not? It just makes no sense, and it's inconsistent with the rest of the rules. |
Delayed lane violation...team calls a timeout. We come back from the timeout and STILL enforce the violation at least in NFHS. It's not unprecedented.
