This can be quick, or if the coach is at the other end of the court and there is lots of action I need to be watching on the court, can take a second or two.

Personally, I liked when it had to be a player...
While I am watching play [and being aware of player control], I may only hear a request for time.
If I must turn to verify the request, that's good enough for me, because I had actually recognized a legitimate request while I was seeing player control and I disregard any subsequent loss of player control [and I disregard the fact that any time was consumed].
