Contact lens - time out

[JHamp]

This happened to Hansborough in the ACC Championship game. According to the commentators, for a contact lens the player is allowed as much time as needed that may be wrong but it's what they said.

NFHS 5-8-3: Only one 60-second time-out is charged (or one 30-second time-out, if that is the only type of time-out remaining) in 5-8-4 regardless of the amount of time consumed when no correction is made. EXCEPTION: No time-out is charged: a. If, in 5-8-3, the player’s request results from displaced eyeglasses or lens. b. If, in 5-8-4, the error or mistake is prevented or rectified

NFHS 5-11-3: 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.

NEVER a reliable source.

Yeah - commentators have as much credibility about the rules as they have about the stock market. I'm sure some of them think they could perform successful brain surgery, too.

Hey - here's an idea. Let them try brain surgery on each other! Assuming they have brains, that is.

Uh-oh. My meds just kicked in and I remembered I used to do radio play-by-play.

Never mind.

I know. I couldn't find a pic of Emily, so I settled for Roseanne. How soon we forget.

On Weekend Update segments, Emily would discuss topics such as the Eagle Rights Amendment, Presidential Erections" (before Bill and Monica had,...how do I define it?), and Protecting Endangered Feces.

I hope that Ms. Radner's work is never forgotten. She was a great comedienne. I miss her every time I watch SNL, whether it's live, or an old rerun.

Don't forget Saving Soviet Jewelry, Flea Erections in China, Making Puerto Rico a Steak, Pouring Money into Canker Research, Busting Children, Conserving our Natural Racehorses, Youth in Asia, and Sax and Violins on Television.
