Time Outs

[chseagle]

In HS, the time outs are 3 60 sec. & 2 30 sec., in NCAA, the time outs are 4 30 sec. & 1 60 sec. or 4 75 sec. & 2 30 sec. (depending on with or without media).

Any ideas why the differences?

In high school, they play 32 minutes divided into 4 quarters. In college, it's 40 minutes divided into 2 halves.
In high school, the three point line is 19'9". It's different in college.
In high school, a non-contact technical foul is punished by two shots and the ball. In college, it's POI.
In high school, the basket does not count if an airborne shooter commits a foul after releasing the shot. In college, it counts.
In high school, the shot clock is a state issue. In college, it is mandatory.
In high school, the coach has to sit after he or his bench get a technical foul. In college, that's not the case.

Why? Different people are in charge.

I thought there were a few states that used college timing rules.

I knew about the 3-pt. difference.

I was just curious why the difference in time outs & length of.

By unapproved state-adoption, I believe. I know Minnesota does, but they play 18 minute halves, I believe.

I just see it as one of many differences; probably because they figure college coaches should need less time.

Rhey why does each team in a college game get 120 seconds more timeout time than in a high school game?

Sorry, I was going on the 4 30s and 1 60 scenario; that's probably media. I was speculating anyway. If I cared more, I'd probably take the time to find out.

Before many of you were born, this used to be a NFHS rule. Basket counts on one end, and if in the bonus, we're shooting free throws down the other end. Neither coach had a lot to complain about.

As someone who remembers shooting those 1-and-1 free throws after the basket counted, that made me feel old . . . (but there was a lot less happiness by the defense when the basket counted and it wasn't bonus yet . . .)
