My take, then:
The intent matters. Obviously, the committee wasn't trying to stop teams from going to the locker rooms at half time, so that would be an "authorized reason." A coach leaving the bench during a quarter intermission is different, though.

So, a right after they made this change, I had a coach have his players run sprints after the first quarter. I didn't think about it until it was practically over with, but decided I should have stopped him by rule. Maybe I was accidentally right?

Where is the restriction for timeouts laid out? Does that include the time following the odd-numbered quarters?
