The question being asked at the begining of this thread dealt with when the non-throwing team no longer can call a TO, and I'll wager that most officials don't use until they get OOB with the ball as the cut off point.

Oh -- we're taking a poll.

In the "normal" circumstance, I wait until the player with teh ball is OOB. When the ball rolls "far away", I wait until the player with the ball is OOB.

Only when the (new) offense is "stalling" do I start before the player with the ball is OOB.

Just to be clear, are you talking about when you will no longer grant a TO or when you will begin a 5 second count or both?

Both, of course. The criterion for starting one is the same as the criterion for ending the other.

Since starting the wager, 3-0 for allowing the timeout until the thrower is OOB.

Going back to the beginning of the thread 5-0.

Didn't count Nevada since his postion seemed a bit ambiguous to me. He did seem to imply that he'd start the count and deny the timeout once the thrower picked up the ball inbounds.

Where's my favorite beverage?

I agree with you 100%. Unfortunately, there are people who are reading this thread that just will not listen to the logic of the rules that have accumulated over the years from knowledgeable officials.

MTD, Sr. [/B][/QUOTE]I guess that the "just will not listen" part includes a current state interpreter who is also a former member of the NFHS rules committee too, Mark.

Yes, unless the ball rolled far away (in which case I would stop the game and clock with a whistle), I would start the count and deny the TO request when the ball was picked up inbounds by a member of the throwing team.
