Loose Ball Technical Foul. Time-out Called Before the Restart April 23, 2021 World Games 2014 0 Forum Questions In a game the other day, A1 pushed B2 while the ball was loose (entitling Team B to possession). Before we sounded the whistle to re-start play, Team A's coach yelled for a time-out. The referee did not allow the time-out because Team B's entitlement to possession overrides the fact that the ball was dead (i.e. Team A can not call a timeout when Team B has possession). Was this correct? I thought either team can call a timeout WHENEVER there is any deadball regardless of why the ball is dead.

In this case while Team B was entitled to the ball due the foul the fact that you (or your partner) blew your whistle to kill the play created a dead ball. This dead ball allows either team to call a time out as indicated by rule. Riti's Answer: Visual Text Tyma's Answer: Visual Text Answer File Question Answered Yes No
