I did not think this was the corret interpetation, but did not know what section to reference. Any help would be appreciated.

Before the gap, it was the law of the land. Also, no time outs granted once a count of 4 was reached on an in bound play or 8 seconds for a 10 second count.

I had a varsity HC try to tell me last year during a game that the other team couldn't request a timeout since I was at four in my five-second count. Of course I'm not that old so I didn't know the old rule at that point, so I just sort of laughed it off to myself. Turns out I should have told him to pay attention when he's copying the answers on his rules test. :rolleyes:
