dead ball
Timeout on field
A dead ball is a ball that is temporarily out of play in sports like baseball, basketball, or football.
Play stops and the clock may pause until the ball is put back into action.
The ball becomes dead after certain events—a foul, a score, the ball going out of bounds: The referee signaled dead ball after the whistle.
