Had one right at the end of a very close JVB game. Defender is pressing and has the ball-handler trapped in the corner in back court. He ties up the ball. I blow my whistle and signal jump ball just as I hear the offensive coach hollering for a time out. Too late, right?
My partner then gives a tweet-tweet, comes running across, waves off my jump ball and grants the time out.
It turns out that the coach had requested the time out clearly before the tie up. I had been too far away to hear it. My partner, who had recently finished up his football season, out of habit didn't have his whistle in his mouth.
