Official's time out

[Jimgolf]

At this age, the officials are often as inexperienced as the coaches, and are often working by themselves. The scorers table may be at one of the baselines, and not in the usual location. If the official comes to where the table should be and signals the call with correct mechanics, there should be no need to clarify. However, inexperienced officials may not take an unusual table configuration into account when signalling and the coaches may need the call explained. Sometimes, even the table needs a call explained. I can remember a couple of games where a jump ball call was not clear and the table didn't change the arrow on the inbounds pass.
