TO Jumping OB???

[Freddy]

Please confirm or correct my reading of NFHS 5-8-3 that a time out may be granted to a player calling for a TO while in control of the ball in the air jumping toward but not yet touching OB.

Don't have my rulebook with me, but that is correct.

It is not allowed in NCAA.

That rule has to do with throw-ins.

As for your request:

5.8.3 SITUATION D: A1 or A2 requests a time-out: (a) while airborne A1 is holding the ball; (b) while A1's throw-in is in flight toward A2; or (c) when the ball is on the floor at A1's disposal for a throw-in. RULING: The request is granted in (a) and (c), but denied in (b), as there is no player control while the ball is loose between players.

Grant the time out.
