This happen in a rec. game, team A lines up for 2 free throws.
I am the lead official and I toss the ball to player A for the first of 2 shots, first one went in and now I toss him the ball for the second, now the ball is at the disposal of the free thrower, before player A attempt the second free throw team B bench calls a timeout and my p granted team B the timeout, at the same time team A question the call saying that they have the possession and team B cannot request a timeout.
my p said that team B may call the time out as long as the free thrower has not relaesed the ball.
Is that true?

Consider this situation:

Ball at disposal of free thrower. Team B commits a lane violation -- of course it's a deferred whistle. Team B calls time out. So what happens when they line up again? Are we to now disregard the previous deferred lane violation? This can give a huge advantage to team B in some cases.

Thus i say NO for team B timeouts when free thrower has ball.

Nope, not true. The ball was alive, and at team A's disposal, and team B did not have control of it, nor was it at their disposal. Team B should not be granted a TO, as per NFHS rule 5-8-3a. However, if they do get granted the TO by mistake, they are entitled to use it(casebook play 5.8.3SitE).

And if the shooting team requests a TO before the attempt is taken, the delayed violation is still enforced following the TO. See 9.1.4 Sit C. The same would be done if the official erroneously granted the non-shooting team's TO request.

Yikes!! How far into a game did they get without it running away?!

Juulie, do you have Prince Albert in a can?:rolleyes:

That's why they kept trying to shoot it!
