TJones,

Could you fax me a copy of that page. Our association does not hand those out in Indiana like they did when I was in Illinois.

812.386.4811
Attention: William Sohl

Let me know when you have sent it.

This was helpful. Coach B cannot change his mind once A's timeout starts because B1's replacement is already in the game. Thanks.

Yes I will try to get a fax to you.

Question: If A1 and B1 both have blood on them, however as officials we don't see it on B1. Team A's coach requests a time-out(full) so that A1 can stay in the game. While I am on the block during the time-out I notice B1 changing shirts or whatever. Do I charge Team B with a time-out IF a) B1 changes into another shirt but the same number. I realize we would have to charge them a time-out if they switched numbers, because we would have to change it in the book. Thanks

Unless you sent them out, they're not required to take the timeout. They may freely change jerseys to address blood or a torn jersey and even change the number without penalty (if the scorer and referee are notified of the change).

In this case, B1 got lucky.

Changing numbers to replace a damaged/bloodied jersey does NOT require a timeout...just that the referee be notified of the change.
