Hmmm, 10.5.2 Situation B (c) sounds a lot like your situation above.

I agree it sounds like Ceaser's situation. And, if I were the NFHS, I'd write it that way too. But, unless your area strcilty enforces the TO timing rules, doesn't allow any "hand slaps" between FTs, uses laser-guided timing devices to whistle 3-seconds, etc., then I'd be inclined to use the CS&FP handbook on this area too.

I had a coach the other night complain that the other team got to huddle without calling a timeout.

We had a foul near the end of the game. Bonus on the other end. I was going trail to lead and the home team stopped in front of the bench. By the time I reported the foul, got the ball from my partner, and was at the baseline on the other end ready to administer the FTs, they had broken the huddle and were just about in position. Nothing odd, except how efficiently they huddled, etc.

I just ignored the coach, but wondered why he was so concerned with everyone else (he was a bit like this the whole game). No delay whatsoever.

OnTopic: It's rare they ever use the full 20 seconds here. Maybe 10 or so. Once the sub is up and at the X, we go.
