That's just part of the rule that grants the other team a conference. Before you get to that point, read the definition of a charged conference (under rule 2).

It says that a charged conference is when a team "asks for and is granted time out to meet with team personnel".

In the scenario being debated, which team asked for time out? Which team did not? Which one of those meets the charged conference definition?

Not really. The rule has a quantifier that notes it is when a coach or bench/dugout personnel request and is granted time. That did not happen in this case

Being granted time doesn't make a conference. In this case, there was no charged conference to be had.

Right. I didn't mean to imply that there was one (maybe I just didn't make that point very well).

My point was that:

1) What the defense was doing wasn't a charged conference, so the part of the rule about the other team also having a conference doesn't even apply.

2) What the offense was doing didn't meet the definition of a charged conference (they weren't the ones who requested time out).

In summary: NOBODY gets a charged conference!
