The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
The warning horn has sounded during the intermission between the first and second quarter. Team A is entitled to the throw-in. Before the ball is put at the disposal of Team A, Team B’s head coach requests a timeout.
Handle the situation.
While this is highly unusual, there is no rule preventing a coach or team from requesting and being granted a timeout in this situation. Teams are not allowed to have a timeout before the start of the game. They also cannot have a timeout granted while waiting for a forced substitution (disqualification, uniform issues, replacement for injury, etc.). The extra timeout granted for an overtime period cannot be used until the overtime period is underway.
