How many timeouts do we get, and who can call them?

• You or a player may request a timeout. During live play it is granted only when your team has control of the ball.
• A timeout ends early if both teams are ready.
• During a 30-second timeout, non-playing personnel may not come onto the playing area.
• Requesting a timeout when you have none left is a technical foul.
• No timeout is charged for fixing a scoring, timing or alternating-possession mistake, or a correctable error.

Unless your state or league modifies the timeout allowance for middle school, these are the numbers that apply.
