I think you missed the point. The difference Billy is talking about is "full" and "sixty." Like him, we're taught to say "sixty," and not "full."

What's the difference? In NFHS, all time outs are full. They all have a time limit, 30 or 60 seconds. I believe the term "full" came from the NBA, when they started having 20-second time outs. "Full" has just stuck with most, over the years.

Either way, if a coach says "full," he didn't say "thirty," so you have to give him a sixty.

I wouldn't get that picky about it, even. If he says anything that tells me he wants 30, such as "half" or anything that's obvious, I'm giving him a 30.

Called a timeout tonight and hung around for the HC to tell me what it was. He said "full" right at the same time as his assistant told me "30". I told the assistant his coach said full and we had a little laugh.
