Excessive Timeout Administration

[Matt S.]

Going back and forth with a few others on this:

NFHS rules - excessive timeout is charged to the calling team, along with an administrative T. Do you shoot the free throws before or after the timeout? (please cite a rule or case book reference)

My partner says you shoot after the timeout, I say that's illogical because in a tie/close game with a few seconds left you'd want both coaches to know the score coming out of the timeout--it just seems to make more sense...but I've been wrong before!!

You assessed a Technical for an excessive time-out, correct? Well, until the time-out is taken you have nothing to penalize.

After. As BNR said, you can't get to the excessive timeout until you've granted it. Once you've granted a timeout, you take it. Plus, a normal timeout taken before FTs can always delay a penalty (with one exception) and the knowledge of how it may affect the game. Why should an excessive timeout be different?

Is it a team technical foul or an indirect to the head coach?

Team foul only.

To have an indirect on the head coach, there has to be a technical charged to another person.
