Leave The Ball There ...

We have been told that, during a timeout, if the administering official, who is on a boundary line, wants to initiate a conversation with his partner, who is on the division line, that the administering official should leave the ball on the boundary line as he moves toward his partner. Usually the nonadministering official will move toward his partner also, meeting somewhere near the free throw line, or three point line. In a real noisy gymnasium, and we have several of those, if the administering official can't get his partner's attention, then he may end up moving all the way to the division line. In either case, we leave the ball on the boundary line.

Just recently, maybe within the past five years, we were told that we were allowed to leave the ball on a boundary line. Previously, there wasn't any guideline in regard to this.
