Timeout question.

[JRutledge]

So at the end of regulation, Team A has 2 timeouts left (1 Full and 1 30-second). They get a timeout for the extra period so they now have three.

The game goes through the first overtime and Team A uses no timeouts at all.

How many timeouts will Team A get starting the second overtime?

Explain your answer or give a rules reference.

Peace

And,the additional TOs are 60-second TOs.

In NCAAW, the team also has four, but the extra is 30-seconds. 5-14-9b and 5-14-10c

NFHS 5-11-5 Charged Timeouts: Three 60-second and two 30-second time-outs may be charged to each team during a regulation game. Each team is entitled to one additional 60-second time-out during each extra period. Unused time-outs accumulate and may be used at any time.

While we often have friendly debates regarding complex situations with ambiguous rule language here on the Forum, we can still occasionally have a “brain fart” about simple situations.

A few months ago I worked an odd autumn intra-city middle school league that played halves instead of quarters. It took me a few seconds to get straight the old rule regarding bonus and double bonus; I had to double check with my partner.

Note: We decided award two free throws on seventh foul of each half (running time) since the players weren't familiar with the concept of one and one.
