Where to stand during timeout?

Not true under NFHS mechanics. The calling official is always the trail, tableside.

I believe you don't work those mechanics in OR, right?

(I'm just saying this may not be the best example.)

The general point is that when a timeout is called, the officials should end up back in the spots they would've been in absent the timeout. That means that in 2-person, I'll frequently report the timeout and then go to the throw-in spot since that's where I belonged in the first place.
