Dakota,
I think it comes down to sportsmanship. That is a cursory answer at this time that ties all the dissimilar situations together. If the offense can't take advantage of the defense forgetting to call time out, why should the defense get to trick the offense or allow an incorrect verbalization to effect a game. If one is just ignorance, forgetfulness (umpire sees this and should call time-read interject himself into the game); and ASA does not allow it, why would we think they are going to allow deceit or incorrect verbalization to gain an advantage. To me, I see it as a sportsmanship issue and that is how i explain it at this moment.
Got the casebook at NUS in Jan 2003 in Fairfax Va. So, it could be 2002 plays.
