Officials' Time-out signal and mechanic

[grunewar]

a referee can "declare" a timeout for himself, but a coach or player must "request or ask" for one and then a referee "grants" it, right?

Yea, most times it'll be granted, if the Official hears or sees the request.

Assuming the coach requests the time out at the appropiate time. The official ensures that it is ok to grant (example team control belongs to the coaches team etc ) That is why a time out is not immediately granted. The official needs to ensure that he/she can grant the request.

Refer you to Rule 5.8.3

Sometimes I give 'em to the wrong coach.
There's a rule for that, too. Eh?

Yup there is a rule for most things I do say for all but not to start a new whole topic in this thread....

Let me add the rulling 5.8.3

Grants a players/head coach's oral or visual request for a time out such requests being granted ONLY when :
a) the ball is in control or disposal of a player of his/her team
b) the ball is dead....unless...

So, what happens when you blow your whistle and award the timeout to a coach whose team does not have th ball? That's what Mitch was getting at.

Bad call and POI. You cannot award a team for our error. or for taking advantage of the situation

Really? Team control?

That was an example. If coach of team A requests a time out when the ball is in posession of B1 who is say dribbling (ie team control of B), the time out request cannot be granted.

Yes really

I did qualify with EXAMPLE

My point is that team control is irrelevant to awarding a timeout.
