we changed the timeout rule

[RecRef]

We were happy when the NF formalized our rule allowing coaches to call timeouts. Coaches are instructed to make themselves known if they want to call one. They are to stand, even take a step on the court if no player is around, and use the football T signal while calling time.

It was just to hard for the coach to get the attention of the little kids, 7 years through 9 or 10 years, so we decided to allow the coaches to call them also.

As for other changes:
We allow 4 full time outs per game. Full = 1 minute. No shorter time outs are provided.

6 seconds in the lane for the 7&8 year olds.

There is no count for closely guarded if the ball is moving. We do have JV and Varsity high school levels and we hold to no counting even with them.

BTW, some time back you asked about clocks. Have you thought about putting wall clocks in the gyms? We have 3 such clocks either already in the gyms or waiting for installation this season. We replaced an old one last year. It is good PR with the schools as we let the PE departments use our clocks.
