Hey college guys (or gals)

[Mark Padgett]

Just curious. How many, and what kind, of timeouts are allowed in NCAA-M and NCAA-W?

Thanks.

NCAA-M

Depends on whether there's media timeouts or not.

Non-media game: each team gets four 75-second TOs and two that are 30-seconds.

And, one of the "media" formats (there are several) can be used even if there isn't media present.

NCAAM and NCAAW are the same on this.

Bob beat me to it. I can't wait for one of my D3 conferences to go to the media format.

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.
