Time out between quarters?

Beginning of 4th quarter, calling both teams back to court. It is Team B's ball and we're getting ready to hand it in, waiting for Team A to finish their huddle. A few blows of the whistle and instructing coach and Team A to get on out.

Coach A responds "Time-out." (As in requesting a time-out). It is B's ball but we have not given it to B1 yet.

Is this possible? I can't think of any reason why not but also can't think of how it can be either. So obviously I'm missing something and that's where you all come in :-)

There's your answer. When do the rules say a timeout may be granted? Does this situation qualify? Just because it's not the norm doesn't mean it's not legal.

Right, we granted it and both kinda laughed racking our brains trying to think is there any reason we couldn't.

Once we handed the ball to B1, we know he couldn't -- but previous to that all signs say he can I guess ha.

Concerning the intermission between quarters, when is the minute supposed to start?

When the teams are at their benches? When the buzzer sounds, ending the quarter?

I know when time-outs are called, the clock doesn't start until normally the teams are at their benches, as that's when the reporting official says to start the clock/timer.

Good question. Off the top of my head, I'd say treat it like a TO and start when the get to the benches. Only give them a reasonable amount of time, though; if B1 is lingering on the other side of the court flirting with a cheerleader, don't wait for her.

As soon as the previous period ends.
