Fiba t/o
In FIBA you can not call a time out during a live ball. Timeouts have to be requested at the table by one of the coaches and are given at the first dead ball opportunity.
So when offence panics and gets caught in a trap, they cannot bail out by calling a time out.
Takes the debate out of should a time out be granted, who should call it and will the officials miss the request.
