Not to butt in, but this is one particular rule that I don't like. Not because I have something against coaches being able to call a TO, but because I've had too many times (and another just tonight, that's why I'm writing this) where a coach is trying to get a timeout, but my focus is the other way, in a loud gym, and there's simply not a way to hear him/her.

The coach gets frustrated, I feel bad (not in any sense other than, 'oh, that would have really helped them right there'), and it's just not good for much. Especially when we go to the other end of the court and the other coach gets one right when he wants it.

Sorry, feeling soapbox-ish again tonight.
