We were discussing the topic of "substitution during a time-out" at our association meeting. Several officials indicated that if a coach said this time-out is "only for a substitution," that play would continue as soon as the sub entered the game.
However, Rule 5-11 Art, 1 says "Such a time-out (charged) shall not be reduced in length unless both teams are ready to play before the time-out is over." I believe college rules allow for a "substitute" time-out, but was curious if anyone had ever had the opposing coach say I want the "full" time allowed, regardless of whether the sub had entered the game. |

In NF we give them the full time out unless both teams are ready to play. If they call time out and it is for a sub and the other team wants to take the full time allotted they can
In NF give them the time out... A few years ago it used to be once the calling team was ready they both had to play. |

NCAA allows the "substitution-only" timeout (actually has a separate signal, similar to the travel signal), and also allows the calling team to end a (non-media) timeout when they are ready - a warning horn is sounded, and play resumes 15 seconds later.
In NFHS, both teams must indicate that they are ready in order for a timeout to be shortened.
