Media Time Outs in HS
I had a game Wednesday where we had media time outs at the 4 min mark of each quarter. Theres no NFHS procedure for this, and I think there should be one that follows the NCAA procedures. The game was on radio.
FWIW, we did first dead ball after 4 minutes - if on a foul, after the free-throws, if second one missed, next dead ball.... Was kind of confusing because we had a deadball at 3:59 and the radio guy gave us the keep going signal, and then the clock stopped again at 3:51 and then the table gave us the sign......did 8 sec. really make that big of difference?

We have radio for games quite often. I've never seen a media timeout.

A bazillion years ago, I worked in radio in the Chicago suburb of Aurora. One of my many jobs there (that's how it is at small stations) was play-by-play of local HS football and basketball and a few college basketball games. We never got to take "media" timeouts, even for the college games. Sometimes, near the end of a game, if we were behind in getting in all the spots (radiospeak for "commercials"), we'd just read one during play if it got slow!
BTW - the other station in town had just lost their sports announcer to a bigger market. His name was Chick Hearn. I think I've heard of him since then.

I had a TV game several years back which was broadcast on the local PBS station in Chicago and we never had TV time outs. Probably because PBS is commercial free. |

Did the book for a girls team here in Ohio at the state championships a couple years ago and there were also TV timeouts at the 4 minute mark. Coaches never used any of their regular TOs.
