Time out question

Has anyone ever had a coach call a timeout before the tip off?

Do you mean "request one?" Because an official would not grant it.

yes, and I didn't. He asked for a rule interp. to support why he couldn't. I could think of it off the top of my head.

Just tell him it's in the book, pull it out of your back pocked, toss it to him, and tell him to start reading.

He never said why he wanted it, and I didn't ask. I just told him it wasn't possible, and to give me five players to start game. This was a 7/8th grade boys select tournament. A few kids showed up late. I sure he was trying to buy time to start these kids.

Just curious - what was the rule interp that was so important, it just had to be made before the game started....?

The original post didn't say he wanted a TO to ask about an interpretation, it said after the TO was denied, he wanted the interpretation to explain why it was denied. It doesn't state why he wanted one in the first place.

Thanks Mark - my bad. I would still be curious as to why he wanted the TO.
