The case plays for 5-11-7 clear the idea of one team calling a time-out after the other since 4-43-2 does not clearly define it.

My question is about when they may actually call another timeout after the first one has been called. It is it really only possible after the clock has subsequently started, or is it only after the ball has become live to start the (next) OT period? Those two events may not be at the same time.

And FYI, it is not related to the "end of the forth quarter or an OT"....but after time has expired in such a situation but the quarter has not yet ended due to pending FTs.
