This thread reminds me of the T-shirt my son used to wear. It showed a guy being loaded into the back of an ambulance on a gurney. Underneath was printed, "NO RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY - NO FOUL!"

I learned from a coach last week that the opposing coach can't call a timeout after the official reaches 4 on his 5-second throw in count.

That used to be true some time ago.

The infamous change of status rule. Can't call a timeout when 80% of a count had been reached (throwin, closely guarded, ten seconds).

Iirc they finally abandoned that rule because it was too confusing to adjust 80% for inflation?

Last night I learned that when a coach screams out, "Call a foul!" he doesn't necessarily mean a T on him.

I didn't think the opposing coach could be granted a timeout once the throw-in begins.

Well, the opposing coach's team was the one that had the ball at its disposal for the throw-in.
