As usual, Bob is the voice of reason. (something we could stand to hear more of here sometimes) This is a good explanation, I think, and also serves as a good example of a rule which may sometimes be difficult to translate literally from the printed page to the court.

Bottom line on this is I think sometimes the timeout is granted when it should not be. Conversely, I cannot recall ever seeing an official fail to grant one in this case when it was correct to do so.
