Timeout for substitution (NCAA)

[Jay R]

Team A calls a timeout for substitution. They have one full TO and one 30 second TO left. I told the scorer at the table to charge the 30 second TO, not the full. Was I correct?

Under NCAA rules, a team can burn a 30 sec time-out to bring a substitute into the game. As soon as the substitute enters the game the time-out warning should be sounded and play resumed.

I'm glad you all brought this up because I just saw it in a game and meant to bring it here.

NCAA: A1 calls timeout for a sub, informing the official of such as soon he blows the whistle. Can Team B even go to their bench area? Calling team can end a time out whenever their ready, right?

NFHS: I don't think any of this applies does it?

Per NFHS Rules, it does not.

Team B is not allowed to go to their bench. They can also substitute, but the game resumes as soon as the subs are in.

For regular TOs, the calling team can come out early if they wish, the first warning horn would then be sounded and play resumes 15 seconds later.

The only way this works in NFHS is if both teams are ready to go early. If team B wants to use A's timeout, they are entitled to it.
