Can time-outs be shortened in NCAA-M?

Still, you're right, the announcers never admitted a mistake. Of course it was under 2 minutes in a 20+ point blowout.

No, this is why you do not listen to commentators. NCAA Rules allow for a substitution timeout, which is done only for the reasons to get players into the game. The official calls the timeout and then gives a "travel like" signal to tell everyone that this is a substitution timeout. This was the game I saw and they gave the ball back tot he same team that had the ball that called the timeout. There was no violation called at all and the dumb azz announcers did not even realize this. This rule has been in place for about 4 or 5 years now.

Maybe they thought the "right thing to do" was go to the monitor to see who caused the ball to go OOB.

NCAA 5-13.14.b "When a request is made to shorten a timeout for a substitution(s), the signal for shortening a timeout shall be given and play shall be resumed immediately."

NCAAW has a specific signal for this. There's no similar signal shown for NCAAM.

I forgot to thank you for this. I'd forgotten that the NCAA had a provision for the requesting team to shorten the timeout for substitutions. NFHS does not have this, but I've seen officials use an IW to accomplish the same thing.
