Team B has knocked the ball loose, and is heading for an uncontested lay up.
That's why i don't like the rule the way it is written. Make the players call time out.

True. Let's look at this from this angle...Coach is yelling to "get back on defense", or "get your hands up", "box out and get the rebound", or "cut, I said cut", is he yelling for us to do those things or his players? He could yell to his players to call a TO. IMO, the current rule is fine, players just need to understand their responsibility here and step up.
