Somewhat, first, the "T" signal is a technical foul, so do not use that when granting a typeout. Just point to the bench when blowing your whistle.

Second, as you work games, you will become more aware of coaches, and aware of situations where a coach may want a timeout. For instance, when a team goes on a run, I start to look at the coach because I know that (good) coaches will want a timeout to get their team settled. If my partner has a trap in the corner, I will be aware that the coach may want a timeout, and put my antennas up., etc. Start thinking like a coach (just a little!) and be aware of those kinds of situations.
