Well I'm not impressed with your handling of the situation either.
First in NCAA rules you have four 75-second and two 30-second time-outs per team for regulation in games that don't have media.

65-second time-outs just don't exist.

Even for games played with four electronic media time-outs, each team gets four 30s and one 60-second time-out.


Why do you believe that it is appropriate for you to mandate that the team receives a short time-out if they don't tell you which type they want?

The vast majority of officials charge the team with a full length time-out unless the coach specifies he wants the short one. For media games it is easy to keep track of when each team uses their 60 and then you don't even have to ask anymore.

All you did was make big problem out of a tiny little situation.
