The NFHS also does not state exactly what the oral request should be. There are too many ways (ok, not a whole lot but still more than a few) to make an oral request just as there are too many ways to make a visual request. Ergo, it is not specifically defined.
Strangely, many lower level officials do not hear well and/or are not aware of the coaches. Many times coaches could be screaming "Time-out!!", running towards the ref, and waving arms frantically to no avail. Official finally grants it after a few seconds have passed.
