Edgar is correct. I have heard him say many times do not go sticking your nose into a team's huddle. Both NFHS and NCAA Men's/Women's rules state that a game official is to notify the coach when his/her team has used its last timeout.

Mark, I'm not clear on what you're getting at. Are you saying that you shouldn't tell the coach s/he's out of TO's even tho the rules say that you should?

Or are you merely saying that, like me, you've heard Edgar state his position?

I am going blind in one eye and cannot see out of the other one. I misread the original posting by Chuck. I have heard Edgar on many occasions that you do not want to go into a team's unless it is absolutely necessary. Informing a team that is has used its last timeout is required by rule. But an official must pick the right moment when to notify the coach and going into a huddle is not the best time to do it.
