Just got back from game, is it normal to call a timeout after a made free throw, pull your shooter off the line then send him back out there. Don’t you call timeout before Romeo shoots first free throw and go over situations if he makes both, misses both, or makes one. Gene Hackman called timeout before Ollie went to the line.
Taking Romeo off line

That was Purdue's last timeout, and any team can call a timeout when free throws are taken.
I thought you were at/knew the game of basketball, dumba$$.
Go to ESPN, check out the Gamecast from last night, and you will clearly be able to read (if you can, Dr.
) that Purdue took the timeout between RL's first and second FT.Can't call a timeout when we are shooting...

I'm sure loserbear was in the restroom during this sequence. How else would he not know who took the time out if he was "at the game"?
And how did he not know the opposing team can take a timeout during free throws. I guess Todd Leary didn't explain that rule to him.
IU played with heart, grit, and toughness. DeRon played well.
I believe that the confusion is based on the definition of "...taking a free throw."
Once the ball is in the possession of the shooter at the line, he is in the act of taking the free throw. No timeout by opposition can be called.
Prior to it being in his possession, it is a dead-ball situation and any team can call a timeout.
The refs were in possession of the ball in between the two shots at the time the timeout was called. Hence it was allowed.

No, the confusion is based on the fact that victorbear has an extremely limited knowledge of the game of basketball and its rules. Otherwise, why would he think that IU could call a timeout at the juncture, but PU could not?
I see that all the time and if it was one and one you don't take the chance of him missing the first one
Actually, I believe that IU could have called a timeout even if RL was in possession of the ball. The reason why is the team with the ball can call a timeout anytime as long as they have one.
I looked up the rule. After a made basket, the team having made the basket can call a timeout as long as the team that would be in-bounding hasn't picked up the ball. Once the ball is picked up, they are in possession and the opposing team cannot call timeout because you can do so only during a dead-ball or if you are in possession.
You will have to show me the rule that says they can't call time out when IU is shooting free throws?
Better give them an award. We lost..so gives a flying f? If we had an offense that was just bad and not pathetic, we would have won by 20. I like Archie and want him to do well, but man, he’s making it difficult
Hey bulk hugedouche I haven’t saw many intelligent posts from u about b-ball but u seem to enjoy pointing out your perceived faults of others. U seem to be one of the ol Crean cult and arch apologists.
Idk why it’s so hard for some ppl on here to criticize the coach - can one of u eternal optimists explain? It seems like the coach is hired to do a job and is paid good $ for it. If he’s not good at his job, fire him and try to find someone to do it better. And then going after the best only seems logical if u want to be the best (billy, brad, tony, etc), but this group of ppl also loves to put down this idea for some reason? May not be possible, but u have to try. Guess my point is this group of ppl makes zero sense to me and really seem to be a part of the problem. To put it nicely, you all come across as, similar to our team, soft (plus a lot of vulgar stuff, but I don’t want to make you all cry).
actually most of the archie apologists were not fans of Crean.
They are embarrassed that their criticisms of Crean has been replaced with a worse coach that they were excited when hired.
They cant admit that the replacement of Crean has been an absolute disaster...

Why do you bother engaging that dumbass?
Anyone who’s ever watched a basketball game knows what icing the shooter is.
He’s so desperate to get on here and bitch about something.
Well, thank you for your grammatically-challenged analysis of both me and the IU basketball program. I will certainly give it some thought, take it in the spirit in which it was offered, and will give it all due consideration.
I'm done.
Here's some advice for you...if you really want people to not so easily figure out that you are nothing but a sock puppet, don't open up by calling someone a douche and soft when that person has never addressed you directly.
Now, you can call me douche all you want.
There’s some truth to this. And they just can’t admit we hired a worse coach than Crean.
This is funny, considering that you and the truth have only a passing acquaintance.
So, you spent your time looking up a rule that has nothing to do with the conversation going on in this thread. Good for you Junior.
That was a further discussion as to when a timeout can be called by either team. You can refer to the previous post for context. Miller could have called a timeout even if Langford had the ball. Of course to do so would potentially ice his own player which would be a poor strategy.
Wow... Archie really sucks for not doing something that you think would be poor strategy to do. Makes sense.
We were not inbounding the ball, Romero was on the line shooting free throws. Look up THAT rule and get back to us. On 2nd thought, please don't. My tolerance for dumb has already been breached. Go away.
The discussion was about when timeouts can be called. That was looked up. Your point re free throws was addressed earlier. Please read above for clarification.
Yes they can. That is how they try to "ice" the shooter.
Thought you were the one that said you were done with IU a few weeks back? Guess not, you just keep coming back with stupid questions and answers.
Nobody, and I mean nobody, talked about taking the timeout when anyone was inbounding the basketball. It only had to do when free throws were being taken because stupidbear said that Pursuck could not take a timeout between Romero's 1st and 2nd free throw. Now, why don't you re-read any post above this and tell me where anyone was talking about timeouts and the inbounding of the basketball. Then when you figure out that you are too stupid to be posting here, go to the Pursuck boards as they seem to take great joy with stupidity.
I did not suggest that was a direct topic. Rather, it was a clarification about the definition of possession and when timeouts can be taken and by whom. I get that you are upset about the other night but no need for insults. You should learn to control your emotions.
worse coach? lol. another prisoner of the moment masquerading as someone with something important to say. sheeesh.
idk - Final Four at Marquette vs E8 at Dayton on a busted bracket...Id give Crean the nod.
Hired rather quickly by an SEC school after being let go by IU vs time will tell where Archie is hired next...but my guess is we will find out in about 13 months...
lol. archie went to 4 NCAAs in a row at Dayton. Creaner has been to 3 in a row....just once...in 18 years. despite the last 12 games, archie is showing more potential early in his career and to say otherwise is a clear cry for STEVIE!
