At the youth level, you never know what to expect, though.

One or two winters ago, I was at a 7/8 grade boys game. Team A is getting ready to shoot two free throws and the ball had not yet been given to the shooter for the first shot. Coach B wanted a time out.

Officials said no... coach couldn't request a time out until after the first shot.
