None Of My Business ...
Quote:
A player shall not: Leave the playing court for an unauthorized reason to demonstrate resentment, disgust or intimidation Am I correct to assume that this is only for "players", not for substitutes, or bench personnel, or other team members? Also, this refers to leaving the playing court, not leaving the gymnasium? Right? |

Had a varsity HS game years ago when the table told me Team A had 1 timeout left. I informed the assistant of Team A they had 1 left. Later in the fourth quarter Team A called a timeout, I went to the Table and reported and the table informed me that Team A had no more timeouts. I now become the villain of course. Taught me a lesson to never tell either team how many timeouts they have left except when they have none. I would assume the officials knew that that team had no more timeouts. Can you ignore the request (Google Paul Silas Celtics triple overtime game in 1976), and the aforementioned Chris Webber game) knowing that the team has no timeouts and it would result in a technical foul? Just sayin...

Scorer And Official ...
I certainly hope that one of the officials told the coach that he had used up all of his timeouts.
The scorer shall: Record the time-out information charged to each team (who and when) and notify a team and its coach, through an official, whenever that team is granted its final allotted charged time-out. Whenever I do that, the coach almost immediately tells his players not to request a timeout. |

You'll note that no one except other officials ever really questions whether this should be called. No one even knows who the officials were in that Webber game. You ignore it, and the other coach is going to have a right to go ballistic. I'd much rather explain that #3 requested a timeout than explain why I ignored what was right in front of me. |

Tell them when they've got none left ... otherwise, don't say anything. |
