Those quick time out requests are a pain - particularily in the scrum of a lower level game during playoff's.
Never hurts to remind the coach's that a TO is a request and you have about three steps to complete:
1) hear the request,
2) validate team control,
3) Whistle the play dead.
As well I've noticed a reduction in the use of a "visual" signal. I am amazed at how many words, names, chants, play calls, phrases sound like "time" in a loud gym. Don't be afraid to remind coach's "its loud out on the floor coach. Help me with making a visual signal please".
This is good game management and a chance to talk productivly with a coach. I think they appreciate it.
