Sixty Or Full

Our local interpreter has told us to refer to timeouts as "Sixty or thirty", not, "Full or thirty". Does anyone know why? We use NFHS rules, and IAABO mechanics.

Probably because your interpreter is a very anal person......

The term "full timeout" might not be found in the rulebook per se(I don't think, but I ain't looking), but the term also seems to enjoy a fairly common usage. Personally, I don't think that it's a hanging offense if someone does happen to use it.

Because that's what the rulebook calls it. Simple as that.

And if you do say "full timeout", his head will explode.

I'm all for using correct rule book terminology if there is even a hint of any possible confusion, but I think that something like this isn't even worth bringing up. There's just too damn many other relevant things that are needed to be taught. JMVHGO.
