I once had a situation where a coach had used his last timeout halfway through the fourth quarter. He was yelling for his players to call another timeout with just a few seconds left...so I let him have it. I had warned/told him after he used his last one that he was out of timeouts, but I guess he forgot. After the illegal timeout (I gave him a 'T') he went crazy on me for giving it to him. I told him he asked for it, and I warned him he was out, but if you request it, you're gonna get it. He calmed down after that...but I guess the moral of my story is: If you hear it, grant it!
