26 seconds left in a tie game. The home team has the ball. They pass the ball around in their front court for about 20 seconds at which point the number 2 guard puts up a three pointer from the corner. It goes in. The crowd goes crazy. Their is about 3 seonds left on the clock when the ball went in. The visitors immediately get the ball and inbound it. I'm trail but I can't hear the coach yell for a timeout. I don't see anyone call for a timeout until after time has expired. The visiting coach is upset. The assistant coach said that he was yelling for a timeout.
My question is this, what should I have done differently to get the timeout? I was watching my primary. I couldn't take my eyes off of the game or I could have missed a foul. You're not suppose to grant a timeout unless you know it came from the head coach or a player on the court (an assistant can't call timeout). So how do you handle a situation where the coach is yelling for a timeout when he's behind you? In this situation I didnt even hear it because of the crowd.
Thanks!
