Hearing a "time out".... turning...making sure it's the head coach...turning back to make sure they are still holding or dribbling the ball in bounds....too much trouble. Let the coach signal the players, who usually are in front of you. Makes time out administration a lot easier, and avoids the "I thought I heard you call "Time Out"
That's where FIBA makes life easier - no time-outs from the floor. Can only be requested by the coach to the score bench, and then called after a whistle (or the opposing team makes a basket).
