Although I have heard officials say "Full timeout called by white coach", instead of "Full timeout requested by white coach granted".

Failed... I said, when coaches are able to call time-out, I'm no longer going to referee....

Anyways, I don't say that much...

I say, for example: Time-out White, Coach (or whoever requested it), 30-second (or 60) [with signal], Spin it (while pointing at the table to start timing).

Agree. We're not supposed to. I'm on our local training committee and we tell our cadets to keep their verbiage to a minimum when reporting to the table.

It's not, "I've got a foul on white thirty-two for a hold. Blue ball out of bounds on the side". Instead it should be, ""White. Thirty-two. Hold. Possession blue."

As tjones1 posted, it's not, ""Full timeout requested by white coach granted." Instead it should be, "White Time. Coach. Thirty. Start the clock."

More to the point, I like the FIBA rules better for timeouts. It gets rid of all these problems.

The previous comments of what I've heard said has been few & far between.

The majority of what I've heard, is like what you posted.

Some of the times, I've heard it this way: "Full (or 30-sec.) Timeout (with appropriate signal)White coach. start the clock (with signal)"

This reminds me of the quest for the 10-second captain meeting.

I can call that timeout in three words.

Timeout (signal full or 30-sec.), white (signal who requested it), start (give start clock signal)??

Or is it "Time (signal full or 30-sec.), white (signal who requested it), start (give start clock signal)??

My first ever training session in my association.....Practicing calling fouls.

Me, "I've got, blue, 5, hold........"

Trainer - "I've got? I've got? You've got nothing!" Lesson learned, day one!

I use - "30 second timeout. Blue, coach. Start the clock." Same difference.

PS - And yes, Billy, I remember Name That Tune!

We just looked this up in the Official's Manual about 2 weeks ago. The correct TO reporting procedure is:

1. give the appropriate signal for the type of TO (30 or 60 second)
2. verbally indicate team color
3. verbally and visually give the player number or head coach
4. verbally and visually direct the timer to begin the TO period

I used to do 2, 3, 1, 4 but have now been retrained and am following the manual.

I've actually been told by some evaluators to not even verbalize what the foul is. If you go with the "by the book" calls, a coach can start arguing "that's not a hold!", etc., etc.
