Message: [QUOTE="stamfordhusky, post: 2416463, member: 649"] Looking at the NFHS basketball rules book, it appears that the HS rule is the same as college, i.e. that there must be player control to call timeout. "Time-out occurs and the clock, if running, shall be stopped when an official , , , ART. 3 . . . Grants and signals a player’s/head coach’s oral or visual request for a time-out, such request being granted [B]only[/B] when: a. [B]The ball is at the disposal or in control of a player [/B]of his/her team. b. The ball is dead And "player control" is defined as "A player is in control of the ball when he/she is holding or dribbling a live ball." "Team control " is defined the same way as in the NCAA rulebook, but timeout may not be taken when there is only team control but not player control. [/QUOTE]
