Timeout Dead Ball when..........

[just another ref]

If an official (improperly) grants a timeout request while a successful try is in flight, does the basket count?

[APG]

Why wouldn't you count the basket?

[just another ref]

5-8-3: Timeout occurs when an official grants a timeout request.



And this is not one of the exceptions.

Interesting...I'll have to find my books, but I would still count the basket.

According to most, the whistle is not what causes the ball to be dead on a timeout request. If an airborne player makes a request and lands out of bounds before the whistle, does he get the timeout?

I have said before that an editorial revision is needed here. This thread was to help make that case.
