3.5.2: SITUATION A: The captain of A requests a time-out and informs the referee that his coach wishes to have a conference concerning the previous play. During the conference: (a) the captain or all A players go near the sideline to confer with their coaches, or (b) the coach of B goes on the field to his team’s huddle to confer.
RULING: Permissible in both (a) and (b). The time-out, when granted, is charged to A, thus legalizing the conferences. If a game official has erred and a correction is made, the conference in both (a) and (b) is terminated. In that case, the time-out is not charged to A, but is an official’s time-out. If the coach is in error, the time-out remains charged to A. (2-6; 3-5-2c)
what happens if the team has no time outs left?
