Timeouts
So my partner yesterday told me about a game where coach A took a timeout, then coach B, then coach A wanted another one. He said he didn't allow the third one. I asked him when did this action occur? He said in the middle of a game. I said you aren't supported by rule to deny that request.
But this got me thinking: if a team had run out of timeouts but was still taking and granted timeouts (and being charged technicals) is there any points that you could deny? What if they were successive? At some point it becomes a travesty and we could forfeit a team, but is there any guidance on when that would be?
Considering an excess time-out is administrative, so the head coach is never charged indirectly for any of these.
Sorry for those that hate the 1 off situations that will probably never happen, this one just got me thinking.
