Sitch 2. One ref had an out-of-bounds call and the other ref had a timeout by the coach. They huddled and went with the out-of-bounds.

Don't know if it's relevant, but, each time, the same ref "won".

My question is: What is talked about in the huddles and how is it determined which call to go with?

Thanks!
On the first sitch, this is why I always come up FIRST with the stop clock/violation signal for a jump ball rather than coming up first with the thumbs...and I know this is not an approved NF signal, but it prevents the very confusion presented in this case. In this case, unless I am sure my whistle blew first, I would just defer to my partner who had the TO and nobody would be any the wiser b/c I would not have signaled the jump ball yet...this assumes of course that there WAS player control when the TO was called...if I am on the jump ball and my partner is whistling a TO at the same instant, and I can see clearly from my vantage point that there was never PC, then I will go tell him that and we would probably have a jump ball....

the second case is a little trickier, but we would just discuss what happened....for instance, did the calling official get the TO right away or was the coach going "time out, time out, time out", meaning was there a delay between the time the call was made and when you granted the TO..if there was I think I would be more likely to defer to that official and grant the TO - since you are going to have the OB call immediately, it is more than likely that the TO was called first...basically though you are just hashing out what happened and one official will generally end up deferring...
