Time out with Offsides April 20, 2021 World Games 2014 0 Forum Questions If a coach call time out and it is discovered that his team was offsides (7 fwd) after the time out is accepted, is the offsides called? if so, can time out nullified? Question File Add new DuBan's Answer: Visual Text Kratz's Answer: Visual Text McCarrick's Answer: Visual Text Riti's Answer: Visual Text Tyma's Answer: Visual Text There is little harm (and much potential good will) in offering the coach an option to "take back" his time-out call in this situation. Play was already suspended by the offside call, so initially granting his request for the time-out does not change the play of the game. In fact, there is a good possibility that the coach called the time-out in order to get his players off the field before the officials detect his team's foul. In such a case as this, you can ask the coach if he still wants to take his time-out, now that the foul has been called. If he takes it back, however, give the opposing coach enough time to get his players back on the field before restarting play. Answer File Question Answered Yes No
