As a Linesman I don't like the new "head coach can call a time out" rule change. Proper mechanics have you looking at the field of play and not turning around. If the coach wants to call the TO prior to the ready for play that's one thing, but after the ready for play, the wings need to be paying attention to the field of play.
I agree with a previous post - work with the kids on clock management - they need to learn it sometime.
I also question as to why this rule change is even necessary. Sure I've had coaches yell at me wanting a time out, and (without turning around to look at them), I tell them they need a player to call it. Trouble is, you have several "coaches" yelling it. And now we have to verify it is the "head coach" that is calling it?
This is one issue that's going to have to be addressed in the pre-game conference with each head coach.
