Scrapper and others ...
Rule 5-8-3a says specifically: Grant's a player's/head coach's oral or visual request for a time-out, such request being granted only when: a. The ball is in control or at the disposal of a player of his/her team. I now understand that this statement DOES NOT include team control. It specifically is player control and I feel should grammatically be re-written as "the ball is in control of a player, or at the disposal of a player, of his/her team." And as such, a timeout should not be granted during the flight of a pass, despite TEAM control continuing during this flight time because there is no PLAYER control.

Also, there is no Team Control on a throw-in but a time-out can be granted to the team whose player has the ball at his/her disposal.

Well you boys must have better operating crystal balls than mine.
It doesn't change the intended meaning. Agreed. I feel what I suggested does clarify that meaning. But don't get your panties in a knot - you might drop your crystal ball. ![]() Thanks for your help.

Coach Requesting Time-Out ...
UConn-Syracuse ends on questionable call - College Basketball Nation Blog - ESPN
Controversial timeout helps Syracuse past UConn - Sports Pros(e) After the UCONN-Suyracuse debacle, we received the following in an email from our interpreter. It's on the agenda to be discussed at our meeting coming up Wednesday night. Coach Requesting Time-Out By now, I assume many have heard about or viewed the time-out granted in the recent UConn-Syracuse game. The NFHS rule book (Rule 5-8-3) and IAABO mechanics 2-person manual (Page 79) do not provide a level of specificity to guide how we officiate this request. While I have reviewed in past years, I will definitely add to next year's Interpretation meeting for our members and coaches. Here is how we should officiate this: Upon recognizing a request for a time-out by the head coach, the official must then check to see if a time-out request can be granted (Rule 5-8-3) ball is dead; ball is live and in possession of a thrower-in; player control exists) prior to granting (blowing the whistle) the time-out. Thus, there will be situations when an official hears a request for a time-out but cannot grant it. Yes, coaches will not like to hear this and will get ticked when you do not grant the time-out. While many officials do not agree that coaches should call time-outs, I recognize that this rule will not change at high school or college level.

[QUOTE=BillyMac;703842Here is how we should officiate this:
1) The official must see the head coach to confirm he/she is requesting the time-out. 2) ... You may not need to turn and view the coach. [/QUOTE] Makes perfect sense. ![]() |

This is clearly a basketball fundamental.
"The official's whistle seldom causes the ball to become dead (it is already dead)." Fundamental #16. Peace
