I'm not saying this happened but that's my take on what poster is trying to convey.

Whether he mentioned the feelings of the official or not, it not the point to what I posted. The teams by rule are supposed to get out of the timeout huddle at an appropriate time. That is a fact whether he knew to mention it or not.

Secondly, you are only surmising whether the officials were in a hurry or not. I have seen officials give the ball to the player because they do not wait to make sure their partners are ready. I did not read anything that said why this happen other than the OPer did not know the rule. I was just giving a reason why this might have happen. I have no idea the motives and would not speculate on something like that just reading a play on the board. It does not matter if it is a kid's game or the state championship for high school. The bottom line is getting your kids out of the huddle and you will not have to worry about someone not being ready.
