Another Silly Mechanics Question

[TimTaylor]

As Felix said, it's part of the protocol when the U/R2 gives the court back to the R1. Not many folks here do it, but I always blow the whistle to signal the end of the time out.

Go watch a college match & you'll see it's part of the R2's protocol as well, and they always do it.

Thanks, guys....I learned something new today.

I have always blown the whistle if the table did not sound a warning buzzer at :15, but never to signal the end of the timeout.

Question - if one or both teams use the full 60 seconds of the timeout, does the buzzer signal the end of the timeout, or would U2 still blow the whistle?

I'm interested in NFHS interps, as that is the dominant ruleset I'm using right now.

Umpire blows the whistle to end a timeout if both teams are ready to play prior to 60 seconds.

If the buzzer goes off, no need to blow the whistle.
