You do not have the right to say anything. And official's focus is on the court, not you as a coach. If you want a timeout, have your player’s call it and you will guarantee that you will get a timeout rather than asking an official to take their attention off the action.

I realized that and changed it to a generic response. You beat me to the reply. My apologies.
I'm not sure I agree with not having the right to talk to my players. I surely don't have the right to do ANYTHING I might please during the game, but there are some things that I don't think as a coach I should have to worry about during a game, and the situation I described about talking to my player is one of them. I agree 100% that the officials should focus on the court. That said, maybe coaches should not be allowed to request TO's?
