T'd up
I pulled a bonehead move Saturday. Called for a timeout when not in possesion of the ball. I was given the TO and assessed a technical. I had TO's available so that wasn't the issue. From what I can see in the book (5-8-3), I should not have been awarded the TO, and no T should have been assessed. Do I have this right?

What level of basketball are we talking about here? I agree that you should not have gotten the T for this one. The official should have ignored your request, however once they grant the time out, they have to eat it and go explain to the other coach why they granted a TO to you when you didn't have the ball.

There shouldn't have been a technical foul issued. Once granted, you're going to be charged with the timeout and you can take it. Case book play 5.8.3SitE. |

A referee can call an "inadvertant whistle" and resume play.
I trust your response, rection was professional during this event and did not make the T an option?

but if i did say it was an inadvertent whistle, I would still not let him have the time-out, and quickly put the ball back in play.. Not basing this on any rule, just probably what I'd do.

Seems like the bonehead was the official that blew the play dead. The T on top of it was completely stupid. Basically he's giving you a T for his mistake. I hope someone straightens him out.
