Two things: - when you see a player/coach request a timeout in the closing seconds of a game, blow the whistle no matter where the player is. I don't believe "primary" areas were at all meant to apply to timeout requests.
- In situations where you have a delayed whistle on a timeout request, I tell the other coach that I didn't want to blow my whistle inadvertantly and the request was made earlier but I needed to confirm that
- it really was a timeout request
- the team had player control of the ball at the time of the request
- the ball was still dead at the time of the request
- it was the coach and not some fan behind the coach
