W&S - I understand, and the OP was referring to 5th graders which was my thinking......most of em ain't THAT good!
Fullor - I believe Mark constantly refers to players and coaches "requesting" or "asking" for timeouts, while referees "call' or "grant" them.....Meaning players and coaches can't "call" timeouts. At least, I believe that's where he's going....but, I could be wrong.
