Timeout Question for NCAA Officials

[ATXCoach]

Women's rules to be exact

Is there a rule preventing consecutive timeouts by the same team without any time running off the clock?

[wfd21]

Yes. Rule 5.10.19 Same as NFHS

[wfd21]

Slight correction. That is at the end of game or overtime period. Is ok other than those two situations.

[wfd21]

I think I am getting tired. Iam reading half the question.

[wfd21]

So yes you can have consecutive timeouts with no time off clock.

[wfd21]

Man, it only took me four posts' to get that out!

I was woundering about this as I had a coach trying to "ice the shooter" at the end of the game. Is there a limit on how many consecutive time outs? NFHS or NCAA? Thankfully the coach stopped calling timouts before we had to deal with that as neither my partner or I could remember if there was.

If time has expired in the fourth quarter or in any extra period, then only one time-out may be granted. And that's one TO total, not per team. So if you have shot, horn, foul and award 2 FTs, the opposing coach may request one TO to ice the shooter, but then neither team may be granted another TO until the next extra period.

However, if you have FTs with, for example, 0.2 seconds showing on the clock, either coach may request and be granted as many TO's as s/he has remaining. If the opposing coach hasn't used any of his TO's during the game, theoretically, you could grant him all 3 of his fulls and both 30's before the kid shoots his FTs.
