Message: [QUOTE="stamfordhusky, post: 2416162, member: 649"] No. According to NCAA rules, to call timeout, there must be "player control", not just so-called "team control". Under NCAA rules, "A timeout shall be granted and charged after a visual or oral request is made by a player or head coach in .a through .c . . . : a. When [B]a player of that team is in control of the ball [/B](this includes throwins and free throws) (Exception: Rule 5-15.1.c). b. When the ball is at the disposal of a player of the team entitled to the ball. c. When the ball is dead." "Player control" is defined as follows. "A player shall be in control when: a.) Holding a live ball; or b.) Dribbling a live ball while inbounds." There is no player control when the ball is being passed, although there is still team control. [/QUOTE]
