Simultaneous whistles
Had this happen last night. Think we got it correct. My partner as lead has a tie up (held ball) in his area. Just before the held ball coach of the team that had possession is calling time out just behind me as trail. We have simultaneous whistles, his for a held ball, mine to grant the time out.
We got together and I told him our whistles were simultaneous. We decided that he was calling time out before my whistle so we should go with the time out call instead of the held ball. Is that what you guys would do? Could you go with the time out AND held ball?? The coach calling time did not have the arrow... so I would guess he wouldn't be happy with that ruling as he would waste a time out. |

Decide which happened first and go with that.
There's some case play that shows you can have fouls that happen at the same time, but you can't have a foul and a violation at the same time. Use the same type of logic here. |

I would only care what happened first. The timing of the whistles would not be that much of an issue. Because if I clearly had a timeout before a "tie up," I am going with the tie up before the held ball. Do that often throughout the season and not much of a discussion honestly.
Peace

"Timeout, Timeout, Timeout" ...
Quote:
I wish I had a dollar for every time, in this situation, a coach yells, "Timeout, timeout, timeout", when a held ball is about to happen, especially a girls game. I'd be a thousandaire. Bottom line? As JRutledge stated, it's what came first, held ball, or timeout request, not who's whistle came first (or "My whistle is bigger than your whistle").

Simultaneous whistles
Agree with the comments so far. A secondary observation is that the held ball official must have had an awfully quick whistle for that if there was enough player control right before that to justify the timeout. Sometimes the temperature of the game necessitates quicker held ball calls than normal, that much I get. My question for the the calling official would be: Were you ok with the speed of that held ball?
