A1 can CALL a time-out.
There is no definition in Rule 4 for "call", "request", or "grant". So we'll have to use the dictionary definitions. The interesting one is definition 1b for the word "call" at http://www.m-w.com: to make a request or demand

Interestingly, Coach, the full entry for definition 1b is:
Quote:

to make a request or demand <call for an investigation>

Notice that the person isn't calling an investigation. He is calling
for an investigation. So analogously, the coach may certainly call for a time-out. But he can't call it. I'm happy to say that I made this very point less than a week ago.
