Note this did not have any influenece whatsoever on the outcome of the game.

 

 

In the Southwestern/ Boyle Co. game:

 

Boyle Co. was at the line to shoot two FT.

The ref. passed the ball to the Boyle Co. Player.

He took two dribbles and Boyle Co. called and was granted time out.

 

Some people around me said this was not legal. Once the player on the line had possesion of the ball no one could call time out.

 

I disagree. I think when the player receives the ball it is like they are on offense. The defensive team cannot time out but the offensive team can call time out.

 

 

My other rules question is this:

 

After a timeout Team O has the ball underneath the basket. Team D is defending. Team O is running a play and the count is at 2 seconds.Can Team D call a time out before the ball is inbounded.

 

I have never seen this happen, most of the time team O calls time to prevent the 5 second count. But If a defender fell down could they call a TO before the ball is inbounded.

Someone put out the "Bat Signal" for cshs81. I know that he will know these answers.

I don't know the official rules but I'll say no on the first one, and no on the 2nd. I'm sure we'll have an official response soon.

Once the ball is in the Boyle Co. players hands you can not get a time out until after the player shoots the ball.

The defense will not be granted a time out once the offical gives the ball to the offense to inbound it.

Once a FT shooter receives the ball from the official, NO timeouts can be called by either team until the shot has been taken!

 

As for the throw in situation, the team that has possession of the ball is the only team at that point that can call a timeout once the official hands the ball to the player throwing the ball in bounds!

I am not disputing your answer to the second question because frankly I am not sure. But if this is true then how can a team get a timeout after they have a made basket and the other team jumps out of bounds to inbound the ball?

You have to call a time out when the ball is coming through the net so the official we hear you and call it in time.

I think that a team can get a timeout as the ball goes through the net & is not in the hands of the opposing team yet. If the team waits until the team gets it out of the net, then it should not be granted. This is my understanding but I have been wrong in the past.

You have to call a time out when the ball is coming through the net so the official we hear you and call it in time.

 

This may be the official ruling. At game speed I would say that you are more than likely going to get the time out regardless.

Most officials say that they will grant you a time out if they haven't started their 5 second count yet. So in other words if team A scores, team B gets the ball but has not gotten out of bounds and started there throw in yet, a time out can still be granted to Team A. But when the 5 second count starts, team B is now in possession and is attempting a throw in and Team B is the only team that can grant a time out!

That is what the people around me said. And if that is the rule then both the officials and me missed it. I would think that the FT shooter would be classified as an offensive player in possesion of the ball and should be able to call a time out.

The reason a TO can be called after a made basket is because the ball is dead. The TO can be called until the ball is "at the disposal" of the other team. That does not mean "when the player picks it up." So, if a player is slow in getting the ball out of the basket, the 5-second count can begin even though he has not picked up the ball. Once the 5-second count starts, as MOH stated, its too late for the other team to call a TO.

In the first case the timeout is allowed because a timeout should be granted when the ball is in control of or at the disposal of a player of his/her team, and the free throw starts when the ball is at the disposal of the free thrower.

The reason it seems to be worded in a weird way is because it came directly from the National Federation rule book. In the second case the answer is no, once again because the ball is at the disposal of the offensive team. Of course timeouts are always allowed to either team on dead balls.

A little spin to the time out question...

 

the ball is loose on the court. Several players from both teams swarm the ball, but no one has possession. Team A's coach calls a timeout from the bench and it is granted. Yet his team had no more possession than Team B. This occurred twice in the same game. Ruling?
