Reduced Time-out NFHS VS CCA

[jritchie]

Saturday night, NAIA level, team up 25 wanting subs in the game, so they call time out and say we are ready. The opposing coach wants to take the timeout and I know that nfhs would allow this but CCA doesn't. It says it can be a reduced timeout if the calling team is ready. So I go over and tell the coach that we are ready, and he goes on about that was a fast 75 seconds, blah, blah. Then a few minutes later it happens again, coach still complaining about not getting to use the timeout to rest.

My question, does reduced time out actually mean as soon as the calling team is ready, the time out is over? Pretty sure that is how I understand it, just didn't want to be doing something that I shoudln't. The game was fun, lot of 3's and lots of dunks, by one team anyways, ended up 95-51, fun first regular season CCA game.
