Improper request -- NCAA
 

I just want to make sure that I have this down correctly. R1 whistles for service. Coach A requests a time-out. R2 whistles for the time-out.

At this point, we have an improper request.

If it's the first IR of the set, we do not grant the time-out, we make a note on the scoresheet about the IR, and we continue play. We do not issue a card (even if there has been a previous warning for delay).

If it's the second IR of the set, we do not grant the time-out, we make a note on the scoresheet about the IR, and we issue a yellow card (warning).

If it's the third of the set, we do not grant the time-out, we make a note on the scoresheet about the IR and we issue a red card. A point is awarded to Team B.

Is that correct? Basically 3 strikes before you lose the point?

Is it any different if the R2 is aware enough NOT to blow the whistle for the Coach's request?

Remember, NCAA, please.

This may not be correct by NCAA rules, but on the second IR I stare at the coaches pants and puke on his shoes. Never had a third IR in a set. ;)

First off...if the R2 whistles to acknowledge that IR, then it becomes a team delay. The only way it's an IR is if it's waved off, shot down, etc. Once it's acknowledged with the whistle, it's a team delay.

Otherwise, assuming the whistle is not blown, your sanction scale is correct.

And does that make it an immediate yellow card?

Thanks.

Team Delay Warning (NCAA): Yellow card held to the back of the hand. Not to be confused with an individual yellow card sanction.

A Question
 

Saddle,

Does that mean you change your pre-match meal based on the coaching staff you are about to see? :)

That's asking an awful lot.
