Time out - know who has ball

[MN 3 Sport Ref]

I agree Larks and Zebra are right on.

Offical not calling TO has ball held in rlation to direction going. Then as To calling official is standing at his or her spot during the timeout simple eye contact and a directional point as well as a confirmation of on the spot or run the line is a good way to keep both oficials focused of the task at hand.

I also learned at camp that Larks trick w/ feet together or shoulder width works pretty well too once you get used to it.

This topic is a great aspect to add to the pregame you and your partner have before you step on the foloor. As Hawks painfully knows throwins after timeouts are a frequent spot of error by officials who are not focused.
