Loss of Contacts

[Richard Kreimer]

The key, just the palyer who lost them looks for them. Everyone else clears the area away form the benches to avoid the "Phantom" time out. This way the coaches can not t alk to the players. The moment the conversatuion starts from coacjhes to the other four is the time to tell the caoch he is being charged with a time out. There are no rules in the book regarding announcemnments to the scorer regarding contacts. There is a mention that thereferee's will call an officials tome out to have the player look for them.
