The length of the timeout varies as much on the front end as it does on the back. Some officials will follow the team to the edge of the huddle and spend 10 seconds asking "Full or 30?" About the only significant thing I tell coaches in pregame is let me see a 30 signal or it will be a full. Then, if you get lucky and have a timer who actually starts in a timely fashion and measures the length of the timeout you are all right.

SOme areas hear the horn, count to 2 (or so), blow the whistle and put the ball on the floor.

Some areas hear the horn, go back in, clap their hands, wait a while, and then the teams come out.

Most are somewhere inbetween. You don't want to be (too much) different from the norm in your area.
