charged time-out
 

Coach Team A calls for and requests time out for official to check the score. IThen, if the score is incorrect is Team A still charged for a time out or not ? Answer: no the coach or team is not charged for a time out. my question is where do I find this rule in the book. (can't seem to find it)

5-8-4

Bob - two things. First, I thought for the team not to be charged, the request had to come from the scorer, not the coach. Isn't that how that rule reads?

Second - your reference is for NF. Since PP is in the Great White North, he probably need a response from someone much more FEEBLE than you. ;)

BTW - gotta love a name my two year old grandson can pronounce (and frequently does) - "PP". :)

If a coach waits for a stoppage of play to ask the referees to check if the score is correct, and the score is correct, would the coach be charged with a timeout?

Yes. 5.8.4 Sit.A

Actually Ontario is the only province that has not switched to FIBA (yet). They still use NF rules at the high school level.

I'm not picking that nit.

The official should not check the score without first informing the coach that it will cost him a time-out if he is wrong.
