Coach delays after time out

But all this is still wrong because the original post says this is when the SECOND horn sounds. It should be the first horn. I'm not a caffeine addict, so I have a hard time understanding your excuse, but in general on this board, typos and other errors made in haste are not a big deal. I just don't want any young, impressionable refs to take away a mistaken understanding of the horn schedule.

Well, I went back and read what I originally posted, and NOW I finally understand what you meant. And, of course, you're right. I made a couple of mistakes, but was too busy focusing on the "being dilberate" issue. So, for all those young, impressionable refs out there, the procedure is as follows:

First horn: (Fed.) at 20 sec. on a 30-sec. timeout, (NCAA) at 15 sec. on a 30-sec. timeout, (Fed.) at 45 sec. on a 60-sec. timeout, (NCAA) 60 sec. on a 75-sec. timeout.

Second horn: (all) at 30 sec. on a 30-sec. timeout, (Fed.) 60 sec. on a 60-sec. timeout, (NCAA) 75 sec. on a 75-sec. timeout.

Third horn: when the table needs more popcorn.

As usual, my brain runs a little faster than I can type sometimes. And I was using the caffine as a crutch (or excuse?). So, from now on, can you please listen to what I meant, rather than what I said?
