Reasonable. I don't mind the coach requesting during a live ball, but I do mind the reaction we get when we have more critical things going on and we miss the request.

I agree Rich, you already have 10 players to watch between you and your partner or partners and if you really pay any attention to the coach most of the time they are saying things that would get them into "T" territory.
I always glance at the bench when the situation warrants a TO, (opposing team on a run of several points) or keep an ear out when a player is trapped but you cannot afford to look away.
