NFHS. Time Out

Who legally can call a timeout during a boys high school basketball game?
I'm thinking head coach and players on the floor,is anyone else legally entitled to calling a timeout?

The mascot can on Friday's only. Tuesday's are reserved for parents in the front row that know how to ref.

In a girls game the rule is different.

Nitpick:
Head Coaches and players can only request a time out.

Officials can grant a time out requested by the Head Coaches and/or players, provided that the appropriate conditions are met.

Really, what is the difference between calling a time-out and requesting a time-out? Either way you phrase it is the same to me, the time-out only comes into effect when the call or request for a time-out is granted.

Actually, anyone *can* request a time out. But, officials will only grant a t.o. requested by a player or the head coach of a team if a player on that coach's team has control of the ball.

In my experience this nit is neither helpful nor substantive.

Disagree, it emphasizes that it's a process that involves more than one step. Time out is requested. Official makes sure that all the conditions for the time out being granted are met. Time out is, or isn't, granted. Thus is especially important in training new officials. Many experienced veterans take this process for granted, making the entire process almost automatic.

No one is arguing the granted part. What we don't care about is whether it is called or requested, both are the same.

It's semantics, nothing more. The common usage doesn't perpetuate any myths. There are even case plays or interps that use the terms interchangeably.

No one thinks that when a coach calls for a timeout it's automatically granted, there is no confusion on the process by anyone.

Exactly. When I saw the first post in this thread mentioning the "called" vs. "requested" canard, I could hear my eyes rolling in my head.

Thank God nobody called timeout from the baseline.

I say "end line." It's become habit. I would never correct or think to correct anyone who says baseline. Funny enough, I was speaking at some thing a while back and someone came up and said, "I knew right away when you said 'end line' that you knew what you were talking about." Not really.

There are things that make my skin crawl..."reach", "over the back", "on the floor." I have partners that say these phrases and I've cringed silently and mentioned it once in a while to ones that I know would take it the right way.

But requesting and calling for a time out? Please.
