Both teams can take advantage of a time-out, regardless of who called it.
Substituting Players

Move the cursor to a player and press the FORMATION 1 button or FORMATION 2 to set that player to that button.
Checking Stamina
Stamina is an element of this game. The faster the action, the more of a player's stamina is used up. If it drops below a certain level, the player will no longer be able to use the speed burst (the POWER button).
If the player is returned to the bench to rest, he will gradually recover his stamina. Some stamina is also recovered at the end of each quarter, and when a time-out is called.

You can check a player's stamina on the Substitution screen.
