Extra Period Time-out request

[jdw3018]

Is there a prohibition against granting a TO after an intermission but before the ball becomes live? I don't have my books handy, but I'm not aware of one.

If that's the case, I'd think by rule the TO should be granted followed by assessing a technical foul. After the timeout, the OT would start with the administering of the technical foul FTs (obviously).

Hopefully someone with his/her books can chime in. Interesting question.

Ignore the request. No technical foul... proceed with the jump ball.

That only applies to the start of the game. If they had a time-out that would carry over, they could call and be granted a time-out, provided it wasn't a successive time-out.
