Coming Out of a Timeout - How to Handle?

Coach was right, and frankly, you can't blame him for taking longer timeouts when it was obvious you were letting the other team have that much time.

Pregame this with coaches. My coach pregame is short, but timeouts are 2 of my 4 points.
1. Let us know what you want (30 or 60)
2. Have them ready to play by the 2nd horn.
3. Please stay in your box.
4. Sportsmanship.

Spence is not talking about times-out. He's talking about the beginning of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters when often there isn't a 15 second warning horn.

Even without the 15 second horn, I'm in the huddle at 15 seconds.

BTW, there should still be a 15 second horn at the quarters. Sometimes you have to ask for it at halftime, but still.

Ask the person doing the scoreboard to give you a horn at 15 seconds between quarters.

See, you just answered Spence's question.

I am actually asking about both situations.
