Coach requests a timeout

[yankeesfan]

Team A coach requests a timeout to question a correctable error. Coach is out of timeouts and he is proven wrong on his question. Is coach A charged with a technical foul or do u just play on? If possible please reference a rule. Thanks in advance.

Interesting theoretical question.

Practically speaking, most coaches don't even know they have this tool at their disposal. CE situations are most often realized when a light bulb goes on over the head of the scorer or an official (or a coach yells to either which causes said light bulb to go on), and then the scorer or the official initiate the inquiry which renders moot the timeout issue.

I doubt I'll ever have to charge a coach a TO for a failed CE inquiry.

There's no such thing as a coach's challenge in basketball. If you want to stop play in order to check on a correctable error that's fine, but if a team is out of timeouts you don't give them one... for anything.

Rule 5 gives the coach the right to challenge a correctable error.

Is this just your personal philosophy?

I don't have my rules book handy, but I'm assuming that says something along the lines of "Grant the timeout and assess a technical foul"?

Correct. I don't know what all this other chatter is. If a coach goes to the scorer's table to correct an error and he is wrong, a time-out is charged (not granted). If he is out of time-outs it is an excessive time-out and adjudicate as such.

Incorrect on both counts. They can challenge. And you give a team as many timeouts as they ask for...10, 15, 20. There is no limit. However, everyone above 5 comes at the expense of a technical foul. Even so, they get it.

Dead wrong.

Guys! Guys!! Yes, Bryan got the interpretation wrong. BUT!! I do not like the phrase "coach's challenge) because that phrase or the word "challenge" is not used in the Rules Book.

The Rules allow the HC to request Table Personnel to notify the GOs that a CE has been made. There is nothing in the rules that allows a "coach's challenge".

The OP did not say "coach's challenge," that was Bryan's wording when he said it's not allowed.

I never mentioned the OP, but I was referring to what Bryan had said.
