Time Out

BillyMac · #1 (**permalink**) Fri Jan 28, 2022, 01:00pm

5-8-3-A: Grants and signals a player’s/head coach’s oral or visual request for a time-out, such request being granted only when: The ball is at the disposal or in control of a player of his/her team.

Granted when the ball is in control of player when the request is made, or granted when the ball is in control of player when granted?

Fuzzy rule language?

If I'm reading and interpreting the OP correctly, why would you have to declare inadvertent whistle? Were you not (correctly) moving to signal a timeout that was appropriately requested by White when White had possession? If you were a little slow on the trigger, does that negate White's valid request?

Or did White not request the timeout until it had already lost the ball again?

Official: "Do you still want the timeout?"

Head coach: (Knowing that they won't end up with the ball) "Never mind."

This was my same thought/question.

Didn't we just go through this? Why not just link to that thread. I'm nearly 100% certain that nothing is new since then.

Wanted a fresh start and also wanted to keep it simple.
