Can I get some help on Time Out administration?

Don't want to shift gears too much, but I've misplaced my mechanics manual and I need a bit of a refresher since I've been working mostly 3-person.

2-person NFHS timeouts. 60-second and 30-second and the intermission between periods -- where does each official go? I know this was changed and changed back recently, so please, if anyone can give a quick synopsis, I'd appreciate it.

Official that will administer the throw-in goes to the spot the ball will be inbounded (unless where the benches are, then the official stands outside the bench area across from that spot). This is true for all TOs and intermissions.

The other official takes a spot halfway between the circle and the sideline tableside for 30 second TOs, and halfway between the circle and the sideline opposite the table for 60 second TOs and intermissions.

NFHS says on edge/on of the circle.

You are correct, sir, thanks for the correction. Not sure where that came from.

2001-2003 Manual shows the 1/2-way mechanic.

Silly age-related memory question...

Which edge? Nearest the table? Opposite table?

Table-side 30 [Shorter]
Opposite side 60 and intermission. [Longer]

Oh yeah. My little "memory full charged" light just went on. Thanks.

Thanks to you and Mick. That's what I remember. It's a change back to what we used to do years ago away from the silly both go to the tops of the key or the blocks we did for a few years.

And that official may or may not be the official who administers the timeout. That responsibility is based on who's line the throwin will be on based on the official's positions before the timeout.
