Coach on losing team is down 2 points, calls timeout late in the game, about ten seconds left after a foul on a three point shot. His player is going to the free throw line to shoot 3 free throws when play resumes. Coach sends his player to the free throw line to practice the free throws during the time-out that he called. Is this legal to do under High School rules? I could not find in the rule book where it is not. I would be interested in hearing other opinions or rulings on this particular matter. I would also be interested in knowing what this particular rule would be under NBA or college rules.

That's a good question.

They cannot do that in our games, cuz one of us always is holding onto the ball as a proper mechanic. I honestly do not remember a rule, though. mick |
Mick, what if team uses their own basketball? Which is exactly what happened...

Got it!
<html>I <b>knew</b> I had seen this rule in the book somewhere, and I just spent about 10 minutes combing through the rule book to find it. Rule 2.7.4 says the official will <b>"Prohibit practice during a dead ball, <i>except between halves.</i></b> We used to go to our other gym when I played in HS to run plays and things during half time, and I now suppose it was because of this rule :) </html>

Positive number for an IQ?
If it was a coach, it was probably intended to be a complement - we consider most ref IQs to be sub-zero.
