Don't you believe it. If others believe that, it's their problem, not yours.

I've told this story here before, but I had a youth level game a few years ago where a coach tried to pull that NBA rule after calling a time out. I explained to him that only exists in the NBA, and he was cool with that, but another official from a previous game allowed his opponents to do it.

Bottom line: People don't know until they're told. You told them. There it is.

Thanks...Do I believe the officials did this intentionally? IDK...however when my hockey friends know the rule it goes to figure that a 45-55 year old basketball official should know the rule.

At the youth level, you never know what to expect, though.

One or two winters ago, I was at a 7/8 grade boys game. Team A is getting ready to shoot two free throws and the ball had not yet been given to the shooter for the first shot. Coach B wanted a time out.

Officials said no... coach couldn't request a time out until after the first shot.

I got ya beat. This is the call from an official that worked a State Level post season game. He called a Free-Throw lane violation before the ball was at the disposal of the shooter.
