Should a delay-of-game penalty been called . . .

[Jacie]

. . . in the first half on TT for trying to stop the clock after using their timeouts?

[Judge Smails]

Something should have been called.

I just wished we would have snapped the ball and ran it down for a touchdown while the Tech players were trying to figure out what they were supposed to do.

[Boomer.....]

Stoops and the crowd were sure booing because it wasn't.

Yeah I didn't understand why there wasn't a penalty. If Tech actually tried to call a timeout then that is a penalty, right? Did the refs mess up or what?

Could someone explain to me how a delay-of-game penalty can be called on the defense? I think it happened on a Tech extra point, and my dad and I both looked at each other with a classic "WTF?" expression.

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but right before the mythical timeout was called, the RLB (#37, I think) was signaling timeout.

Not sure if its the case here because I couldn't see it, but I have seen that called if the Defense slaps or moves the football while the center is getting ready to snap it.

Yes -- I seen it before where the Refs Did call a Penalty for that very reason...
They got away with one last night...JMHO...!

[Ruuuuuufus]

The refs are supposed to ignore any player or coach that asks for a timeout when they have non left.

[Rogue]

Technical foul. 2 free throws and possession.

;)

[All_Day_28]

there is no penalty for calling a timeout when you don't have one in football.. they just ignore you basically.

[SoonerJack]

the refs did suck last night. especially the personal foul on Nic. Bogus.

Tech should have gotten a delay of game penalty for trying to call timeout when they didn't have one left.

[BoulderSooner79]

I don't think there is a penalty like in hoops. The refs are just supposed to ignore the request. Stoops was upset because the refs must have forgotten the timeout situation and "paused" the game; thus interfering with our no huddle tactics.
