Grant time-out or not

[altus]

A1 is fouled as time expires in the fourth quarter, score 60-61, B leading. Before A1 goes to the line, Coach B ask for a time-out, do you grant him that time-out?

Unless there was already a timeout granted after the expiration of playing time, yes.

Yes, it is Altus Oklahoma. Can anyone give me a reference point for the situation about the time-out?

Don't have a NFHS rule book available at the moment, but T/O's are allowed in this situation. The game is not over. Do you have a rule book available to you?

My question to you is why would you think a T/O is not allowed in the situation?

5-8
Time-out occurs and the clock, if running, shall be stopped when an official:...

3. . . . Grants a player's/head coach's oral or visual request for a time-out, such request being granted only when:

a. The ball is in control or at the disposal of a player of his/her team.
b. The ball is dead, unless replacement of a disqualified, or injured player(s), or a player directed to leave the game is pending, and a substitute(s) is available and required.

5-12-3 . . . Successive time-outs shall not be granted after expiration of playing time for the fourth quarter or any extra period.

I watched a game in which this happened, but the officials did not give the coach a time-out, which I felt was a wrong call. This happened in an area finals game.
