Head coach must notify officials before timeout is reported to the scorer. (The official will ask the coach if the team wants to advance the ball when asking for a full or 30-timeout.)

If option is exercised, the throw-in may be madeinto the front court or back court. Team will receive a new 10-second count

if throw-in goes into the back court.

to cross the division line, the ten second count shall be reset on all stoppages of the game clock, except when:◦ The defense causes the ball to be out of bounds.◦ The offense retains possession after a held ball.◦ There is a technical foul assessed to the

offensiveteam.

the new signal – shoulder height.◦ If there is a new throw-in the back court with no

reset of the 10-second count, the Trail will communicate verbally and visually to both coaches, players, and partners the time remaining for the ball to achieve front court status.

◦ The count starts with the Trails visible count and not the game clock.

◦ Make sure the count is visible, precise, and accurate.
