Inbounds spot

Hello! I think I've finally found a place where I can ask those questions I've always wondered about but were too ashamed to ask.

For example...If I want to call a time out in a late game situation but ensure that we inbound the ball under our hoop, what general area of the floor need we be with the ball when the time out is called? Mind you, we want to inbound it under our hoop rather than on the sideline.

Thanks!

New howler monkeys are always welcome. BTW - what ever made you think you can call a timeout? You may request a timeout, but only an official can call one.

It's important to make this distinction not just to be anal, but to reinforce the concept to your players that just because you or one of them yells "TIMEOUT", they shouldn't assume a timeout exists at that point and therefore stop playing.
