First time, and it happened twice

Nope, you are taking your position for the tableside throw-in too quickly. You should stand back a few feet out onto the floor until that second horn sounds, and then step over there to administer the throw-in.

In the 2-person system, you need to keep your eyes on all that you can because there are only two officials. Giving yourself a wide angle and keeping certain areas in view and in front of you is good advice. But don't follow it if you like, and continue to have problems crop up in your games. I'm sure that will get you on those varsity league games real soon.

I will take your suggestions in consideration. But this is the way we do it in our league.

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.
