Requirement or Courtesy?

[Hartsy]

In a recent thread someone made a comment that it is the officials duty to inform coaches when they have taken their last available time out. I often do this, but did not realize it was required. Or is it required? Please refer me to where this is indicated.

Go to Rule 2 (both NFHS and NCAA) and in the Section titled Scorer's Duties, you will find the requirement.

Like MTD, Sr. said:

Rule 2 SECTION 11 SCORER’S DUTIES

The scorer shall:

ART. 6 . . .

Record the time-out information charged to each team (who and

when) and notify a team and its coach, through an official, whenever that team is

granted its final allotted charged time-out.

It's also a requirement in NCAA.

It is more of a courtesy from an official's point of view, because nowadays, the coaches already know their timeout status. This is not something that officials are required alone and if you are not informed than it is not your job to go out of your way to find out.

I don't understand what you are saying...we are not required? What does the rule book say below?

ART. 6 . . .

Record the time-out information charged to each team (who and

when) and notify a team and its coach, through an official, whenever that team is
granted its final allotted charged time-out.
