Agree.
I always tell them,"Coach, you still have to request it", and always followup with, "I'll be watching and listening" (letting him know that I heard him and understand the situation).
Don't want, "Hey BillyMac, you screwed up, I changed my mind, I don't want the timeout, I'd rather save them, plus I never orally or visually requested a timeout".
Exactly where in any rulebook, or mechanics manual, is there a coach's visual timeout signal listed?
We all know it when we see it, but where is it listed?
