Time Outs

[TravisFL]

Blue is in possession of the ball in their back-court and White's HC calls a timeout, the trail blows the whistle dead and starts to signal the a 60 second timeout. The trail realizes his mistake he rules it an inadvertent whistle and does not allow White the time out.


Is this correct?

Not at the HS level.

I believe there's an NCAA A.R. that states that the OP ruling would not be correct for college, either, per se.

No.

I can't find a current A.R. but I believe it supposed to be ruled an IW.

It's in there, and you're correct in the ruling being an IW, but the AR states that the protocol is to subsequently ask if the HC would then like the time out anyway.

Perfect timing. I made this very mistake today.

Ball was in the air on a pass, and I hear a frustrated coach's TO request. I wait for the catch, hear the request again, tweet. I immediately knew I kicked it. The other coach had that "he can't do that!" look in his eyes. I explained that, since the ball was dead, I have to honor the request, and I apologized. That's all you can do.
