I did a D3 conference tournament game a couple years ago. The conference decided to use the media format for all of its playoff games because the NCAA tournament was going to use it, and they wanted their players to be used to it before they got to the nat'l tournament. Anyway, the players HATED it. A couple times, the horn would sound, I'd say, "media time-out, guys", and somebody would say "Already? Jeez!" They hated the interruptions. Gotta say I agree with them. |

I once worked an NAIA conference that had media timeouts every game. Now they were not the normal format and we had them at 15 and 7 minutes (if I remember correctly) during each half. They were built in and we had to use them and no one complained as the players seemed used to them.
Peace

I hate the NCAA media timeout format.
If I remember correctly there was an Elite 8 or Final Four game where there was continuous action long enough to "miss" a media timeout and go until the next. Well a team took a timeout, play starts again, foul on the next trip, and NOW we take a media timeout. The NBA does its mandatory timeouts correctly to minimize the interruptions...same with when they use the monitor but that's another story.

Thanks, everyone. I noticed that some of the networks are indicating the number of timeouts left on their mini-scoreboard on the screen, just like they've been doing for football games.
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.

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 |
