Time out opportunity - FIBA
Timeout opportunity after a field goal.
The defending team can take a timeout is my understanding based on 18.2.3 18.2.3. A time-out opportunity begins when: • For both teams, the ball becomes dead, the game clock is stopped and the official has ended his communication with the scorer's table. • For both teams, the ball becomes dead following a successful last or only free throw. • For the non-scoring team, a field goal is scored Why is there a special section 18.2.8 about the last 2 minutes for the scoring team? Which rule says scoring team can take a timeout after making a field goal ? 18.2.8 confuses me 18.2.8. A time-out shall not be permitted to the scoring team when the game clock shows 2:00 minutes or less in the fourth period and in each extra period and, following a successful field goal unless an official has interrupted the game. At the end of day what I would like to know, how can and who cant take a timeout after a field goal? The classic No Whistle scenario. Basket counts signal How are the experienced FIBA refs calling the timeout opportunity after a field goal? |

Because it is tied to the third item in 18.2.3. MTD, Sr. |
18.2.3 dot point 3 refers "non-scoring team"
18.2.8 refers to "scoring team" I dont understand how they are linked. |
I don't work FIBA, but as I read the rule --
During most of the game, either team can request a TO after a made last FT (bullet point 2). During the last 2:00, this opportunity is not available to the scoring team. The first bullet point seems to be an "officials interruption" -- so the scoring team could still request a TO. And, as you point out, the last bullet point refers to the non-scoring team. Neither of these seem affected by 18.2.8 |
Let me give it a try.
For 38 minutes, either team can call a timeout when the ball is dead and the clock is stopped. In the last minutes of the 4th, the clock stops on a made field goal but only the team that was scored upon can request a timeout. So Rule 18.2.8 is there to stop the scoring team from arguing that they could call a timeout after scoring in the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter (since technically the ball is dead and the clock is stopped). |
