First time, and it happened twice

And where the hell is it in the rulebook where it states the position of the officials during a time out (or is that a state's thing)? I've been looking through the rulebook for the last 10-15 minutes trying to find the damn thing and can't find it anywhere.

In the 2009-2011 NFHS Basketball Officials Manual, the 2-person time-out mechanics can be found on pages 38-41.

The 3-person timeout mechanics can be found on pages 75-78.

Thanks, I was looking in the wrong area. I'll go dig that up tomorrow as I need to go to bed soon.

Accept that in many areas, including, it seems, yours, the "administrative rules" are more loosely enforced at lower levels.

If you are working the table (one of the "official" positions), then tell the sub that s/he can't enter. If you aren't working the table, then leave it up to those who are and the game officials.

Thanks for the feedback, Snaqs and Nevada.
