If a team has player control at the time of a time-out request, you have no rules justification to deny that request. Are there any other rules that your little corner of Connecticut has chosen to change? Lah me....... ![]() |

My Second Grade Teacher Could Do This, She Had Eyes In The Back Of Her Head ...
Quote:
Your right, we are not following any NFHS rule, or for that matter, any NFHS, or IAABO, mechanics, but the wordng of these references is "fuzzy". The spirit and purpose of the rule is to ensure that the correct team, the head coach of said team, and a player on said team has player control, all three at the same time. Tough to do if you have to visually observe the team bench, which forces, in some, but not all, cases, the official to turn away from the action on the court.

Slight Twist ...
And what if the ball is not in your primary coverage area?

Letit Point Easy to Overlook
McBilly has a good point here. Often, especially if there's significant backcourt pressure and an impending held ball situation, the new lead -- not actually real close to the on-ball action, has a better awareness of the coach's request and can assess player control from a distance. Isn't it correct that sometimes it's a "line-of-sight" issue in which the other guy actually has a better vantage point? His head doesn't have to do the periscope thing to verify the necessary elements.

One of the things I try to do at the Captains and Coaches pre-game meeting is to say: "Players, you know your coach's voice better than we do. If he/she is requesting a time out and your team has control, you can call for time out." Very few players do this, but it doesn't hurt to bring the point up. Live ball time out requests by player only, would be a vast improvement and would lessen the confrontational opportunities. during a typical game.

Actually, we had the point of transition to worry about back then, too. And the 5 seconds to inbound did not end on the release.
