Bump ...

In my little corner of Connecticut, we call this "bumping the timeout", and it's strictly verboten. Here, the official that grants the timeout must report the timeout, even if he has to make a long journey to the reporting area to do so, and take the same long journey back to his spot after all the particulars are reported. The urban myth is that, many moons ago, the information somehow got relayed in error between the officials, and the timeout was charged to the wrong team.

IAABO mechanics are a little fuzzy on this. It doesn't say "bumping" is correct, but it doesn't say "bumping" is incorrect. It just states that the "administering" official reports the timeout.

What do NFHS mechanics say about "bumping"?
