A little off topic, but....there's a very good, experienced official in my area. Recently a good friend worked with him. A coach jumped up off the bench on a close call (our varsity boys coaches have to sit) to complain. The official instantly turns and grants him a time out. The coach says he didn't ask for a time out, to which the official responds, "you were up off the bench so you're either trying to call a time out, or you must want a T." The coach took the time out and they moved on without any more complaints from the coach. Nothing I would ever do, but pretty funny I thought.
