assistant coach
 

Just wandering if an assistant coach can call a time out or does it have to be the coach or player ?

head coach or player, unless the head coach is no longer with us.:p

That would be federation rules right. What about FIBA any different ?

Best handled by someone a little more FIBA minded than myself. i'm just febal minded.:rolleyes:

Don't wander to far from a rule book, no to assistant coach

Not The Peppermint Twist ...
 

Let's add a twist.

2-11-6 The scorer shall: 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.

Here in my little corner of Connecticut, we've been taught not to interrupt the head coach in his huddle during the timeout. We've also been taught not to wait until the end of the timeout to inform the head coach because he might want to give that information to his players. Accordingly, we have been taught to give such information to an assistant coach.

Comments ?

We must be getting more mature. Five replies and no one brought up the "call vs. request" issue. Or maybe we're just tired.

Also - no one asked Hunter61 where he's "wandering"!

And don't throw stones when you live in a glass house. :p

Not NFHS but NCAA 2-15 Notify a team and its head coach when a team takes its final allowable charged timeout.

Do your meds include Ambien? See my post. Not that subtle.

Toooshay! Common mistake of mine along with your/you're

Don't stow thrones when you live in a grass house either.:p

Everybody!! Remember, players and coaches REQUEST a timeout and officials CALL timeout.

I am a very bad boy! :D

FIBA- head coach or assistant coach may request through table. Table sounds horn at next dead ball after the official has reported, for both teams after the final free throw if successful or for the non-scoring team after a made basket by the opponent.

Actually it is called GRANTING a timeout...
