Extra Period Time-out request

[tjones1]

Ignore the request. They don't get the additional 60-second time-out until the ball becomes live.

5.12.4 Situation B

Regulation play ends with a tied score. Team A has used all of its allotted time-outs. Team A requests a time-out before the overtime period begins.

Ruling: The time-out should not be granted. The additional 60-second time-out provided for each extra period(s) shall not be granted until after the ball has become live to start the extra period(s).

I obviously should have waited before starting to type my post.

That said, what is the text of the rule supporting ignoring the request? We wouldn't ignore it at other points in the game...

There are times when you ignore a TO request, i.e.: team A is in team control and coach B requests a TO.

A thread on overtime and you post this? Who ARE you?

True, because B is not entitled to it. That's not the case here, if they had a timeout, they could have it.

Good question. My initial thought was the same as yours, give it to him at the expense of a T.

5-12-2: Time-outs in excess of the allotted number may be requested and shall be granted during regulation playing time or any extra period at the expense of a technical foul for each.

5-12-4: The additional 60-second time-out provided for each extra period(s) shall not be granted until after the ball has become live to start the extra period(s).

To me, a plain reading of these two rules would lead me to grant the TO and call the T, but I can see how Article 4 could go the other way. The case play ties up those loose ends I guess.

I also can see that the intermission between regulation and the start of overtime is neither 'during regulation playing time or any extra period...'

Obviously, as you said, the case play clears up what we're to do, and I'm fine with that. Reading literally when an excess TO request can be granted in article 2 works for me.

Over twenty-nine years, I seem to have forgotten more "stuff" than I remember. That said, I seem to remember an interpretation that a time out may not be granted before the ball becomes live when it leaves the officials hand during the jump ball to start the game. I don't have a citation. Can anybody help me out here?

I just found this. Does it help?

6-2-1: The game and each extra period begins when the ball becomes live
as specified in 6-1-2 for a jump ball, throw-in or free throw.
