Was that a correct reading of the rule at that time? And what is the rule in that instance now?
I'm assuming the situation described in the book was FTs to determine the outcome of the game? If that's the case, both NFHS and NCAA would allow the time out request now (if the team still had any remaining at the end of regulation).
