Time out?

[doghead]

Had something similar happen to me last year in a JV girls game. On my situation, the ball was flying OOB as a result of a bad pass between A1 and A2. A-Team Coach screams for a time out when it is obvious the ball will go OOB. As it's happening, I can remember a sentence from reading the Case Book...something about "a timeout cannot be granted when the ball is loose between players". After the ball became dead OOB, whistle, direction, I granted the timeout. Coach was mad. Said that the wanted it "BEFORE". I told him that one of his players had to be holding or dribbling the ball for his request to be recognized. He stated that he had seen it done in a Varsity game the night before.

I told him that I unfortunately wasn't at that varsity game therefore could not comment on that play.

I think I got it right.

Cheers!
