Silly as it sounds, the length of a timeout depends upon how many TV commercials have been shown in the half. Besides the end of the quarter and the 2-minute warning, there are 8 additional "TV timeouts" which will extend the length of any given team timeout to 1 minute 50 seconds.
Once all of the TV timeouts have been used up, any remaining team timeouts taken will only last 30 seconds.

These are normally used as clock management timeouts and not play call related,

Upon resumption of play, the team granted the timeout shall have the option of putting the ball into play at the 28' hash mark in the frontcourt or at the designated spot out-of-bounds.
