Unanswered Timeout question

[SamIAm]

In reading the NCAA rules concerning timeout, I didn't find a rule or play indicating to charge a timeout if you mistakenly grant a timeout. I understand NFHS does include such direction. Did I miss it or is the ncaa rule different?

This all leads to, in NFHS, must you assess a technical for an unrequested but charged timeout, (per rule)?

NCAA or NFHS?

I was talking HS. But then I read another thread which said you MUST grant it.... I would prefer the inadvertent whistle, especially when it gets confusing, and put it back in play. Guess that's not an option......

JR and several others haves sited Case Book play 5.8.3SitE.

(I should have included this in the OP.)
NCAA reads that you grant an excessive timeout, if requested, and assess a technical.

I am wondering how the wording is in NFHS, as I don't have a book at work.

In this situation, I read the case being that Team B was requesting a timeout in a situation where they should not be granted one. I read on that once a timeout is granted it can not be revoked, but is it really granted if it was never requested?

I concur. I have apprently been mistaken when putting the ball back in play as inadvertent whistle. I have read several similar threads on this subject that seem to say - if you hear it, you must call it, even if the coach didn't mean it - as in a coach yelling a play like "pop out" or "line out".
