BTW - what's the timeout policy for, dare I say it, OT? Do unused timeouts carry over and/or are there additional one(s) for the OT? Thanks again.

Carry over. One additional TO per team in OT. If it's a game on TV, the extra TO is likely a 30-secodn TO

In most of the games you'll see on TV, a team gets 4 30-second TOs and 1 60-second TO. Only 3 of the 30-second TOs can be carried over to the second half.

Meda at the first stoppage under 16, 12, 8, 4 each half, plus the first TO called in the second half is also the length of a media TO

I know some people will find this post distasteful, but I go to a *lot* of games in Madison -- I have men's season tickets.

Invariably, there will be a cheap whistle (usually a foul that, in my estimation, wouldn't have been called at any other time) of some kind just seconds after a media timeout threshold.

Last night was the exception. Not a single whistle from 16+ minutes left in the first half until 12:43. Media timeout. Next whistle was at 12:02. Next whistle, yup, ANOTHER media timeout.

And this game was ONLY on ESPN3 last night.
