Anybody know where this can be found? Or was this a rule in days gone by?
I would ask him for the rule reference so you can inform the coach why he doesn't get an additional TO in that next over time.

He won't be able to provide you one, but sometimes you have to ask diplomatically.

Or, you could just smile and nod, knowing that if you ever get to that point, there is no maximum.

This is one thing FIBA does better imho. One timeout per team per ot period. It doesn't matter how many you didn't use. Also this year in the 2nd half yoou get 3 timeouts.. If you haven't used one by the time you pass the 2 minute remaining mark ode the 4th quarter you lose it.

I find this speeds up thehe game.

Funny. I was thinking the exact same thing. He would have put this myth to rest with a few "choice" words.

Am I the only only one who occasionally cries after reading some posts for people such as Jurrasic and Mick even though I never met either one? :(

Both helped me immensly over the years.

Why are you guys so mean? Somebody asked about the rule and I answered the question and gave the historical background. :(

There is nothing about the FIBA timeout rules that I find better than NFHS, NCAA, or NBA. Our rules allow for more strategic use. I like that, but I'm used to it.

Because it was fun, even when I was the target of his "choice words". It was scary at first, but eventually I was able to read through the "rough stuff" and I ended up learning a lot from Jurassic Referee.
