Full or 30

Does anyone have a good way of remembering how many 60 and 30 second time outs each team has remaining?

Sometimes after a coach requests a time and I grant it, I'll ask if he wants a full or 30 second time out when he only has full time outs left. It would be nice to already know that without asking the coach or scorer.

Well, you shouldn't use elastics around your fingers or anything. I think you just have to work it into your game, much like working remembering the arrow into your game. Maybe start with 30s TOs first -you know - baby steps.

I don't keep track at all. When I report to the table, I expect the scorer to tell me if the team is "out" of the type requested. Then I tell the coach, for instance, that it's not a 30 but a 60 since that's all he has left. Prior to the game, I tell the scorer only to tell us when a team has used it's final TO, not how many remain since I don't care.

While we're on the subject, a similar situation exists with personal foul counts. I tell the scorer absolutely not to tell me or my partner how many personal fouls a player has unless we just called the fifth. I'm sure you can realize the "indirect" benefits of this policy.

I completely agree. This is the table's responsibility. You just report what you are told and if a team is out one or the other, the table should tell you. We are not football officials that can write down each request for a timeout.

It is funny because I was thinking the same exact thing. I had to look again to make sure I was not reading the wrong title.

Were taught that its good game management to know. Its not the most important thing, but it does help.

On our local board, we're taught to ask, and report, 60 or 30, not full or 30.

Good question. I only want the table to tell me when a team has used up all of their timeouts, so that I can notify the coach that he has no time outs left. However, I can see your point. Several times since the two types of time outs were introduced, I've made a call that the coach may have disagreed with, he asks for a timeout without specifying which type, I'll ask, "60 or 30?" (sometimes I'll forget and ask, "Full or 30?"), and he'll take this an an opportunity to sarcastically say, "I only have 30's left" (implying, "You idiot"). It's times like those that I wish I had known more information.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I tell the coaches in pre-game, let us see a 30 signal, or you will get a full.
That's always been good enough up to now.

Here is what I ask when I am part of a crew:

2-man crew: Umpire keeps track of how many 30s the home team has used; Referee does the same for the visiting team. They can then share that info as needed. "Hey partner, white is now out of 30s."

3-man crew: U1 keeps track of the 30s for the home team; U2 tracks the 30s for the visitor; Referee tracks the fulls for both teams.

What good does this do?
