The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
During the fourth quarter, Team A requests and is granted a timeout. When the official reports the timeout to the table, the table indicates that this is an excess timeout. Team A had never been notified that it had used all its timeouts.
Handle the situation.
Despite the fact that Team was not notified when they used their last timeout, this is still a technical foul that is charged to the team. The head coach does not lose the use of the coaching box. Team A will get to use the timeout.
After the timeout is over, Team B will be awarded two free throws and the ball at the division line opposite the table for a designated spot throw-in.

Have you seen an unusual play? Let all officials benefit from it by sending it to Play of the Day
Very Good Play. Team A should have known they did not have a Timeout. You have to give the
Timeout. Then administer the Technical Foul Shots and the Division Line Throw-in.
Thanks!
