Well, it worked out Ok with Coach agreeing to accept it. Official probably would have gone with IW if Coach didn't take it.

I've been burned in the past and would rather have a screaming coach yelling timeout than to guess. I usually hear first than go with a visual. I know most of the coaches and they call me by first name to get my attention.

Of course a run by the opponent, a trap, a made basket with team trailing late in game, and my antenna is up for a time out. I've caught myself looking at bench 3-5 seconds before coach calls for TO.
