Not only can they stand but only have to sit after the second horn. Some officials think the huddle must be breaking up at the first horn, but the rule book says a time out is 60 seconds or 20 seconds, not 45 and 10. The hudsle should break up after the time out has ended, second horn. Remember officials are ready to put the ball in play and one official has the ball in hand and at the spot of throw in. Give the teams and coach a chance to use their full time out, that probably need it. Later. Jerry
