I have had more than one heated discussion regarding this situatuion. The simple question of "Why?" normally solves the whole thing. If the manager has told them to request time in order to stop any unexpected action, you will ususally hear from him at the next half inning. "Why wouldn't you call time when my fielder wanted it?" The Why question is still the best. "Why did he want time coaach?" If you start to explain the rules, and that you don't have to grant time to assist his team, he will immediately think you are picking on his team. So when I ask the coach why he wanted time, he is completely lost and it will end the discussion.
