Time Out/Possession

[inigo montoya]

Perhaps I could have simplified this by:
A1 has ball in her frontcourt, facing a tough defensive double-teamnear the sideline. Someone on A's bench yells "time-out!" just before (but clearly before) A1 travels. Trail raises hand to begin signalling travel violation, though he then realizes the head coach is the one who requested the time out. Who's ball?

If you know the coach requested timeout before the violation, give it to him. It's no different than when we call timeout just a three point shot is released, or right after a steal, or just as the defense is tying the ball up. If the TO was requested while team was in control, give it to them; and give them the ball as well.

Makes sense, and the way I've been doing it. But I'm starting to get some better JV games, and before I have to make that decision in a situation where it could influence the outcome of a game I wanted just to make sure!
