I say they get all the 60 seconds to talk to their team and then break huddle and head to inbounds location or wherever on court they need to be. I was only asking a previous poster who seemed to be putting the ball down at the second horn. Clearly, I see no rule for that, nor have I ever seen that happen.

"Prepare to resume" means, to many, that they should be getting in position on that warning horn. If the second horn meant they should start breaking the huddle then, there's no reason for the first horn, is there?
