D2 Observer said to me that once B had the ball ready for throw in..NO Timeout should have been granted to Coach A. Timeout needs to be called when ball is thru the hoop.
[B]Question: Is this in practice how its handled??  |
In practice, in this situation, timeouts are granted really late, really often, and this is something which should be addressed more often, in my opinion.
Conversely, I don't think I have ever heard a complaint on this issue. So either this is not a big deal, or, more likely, most people don't know the rule.
