Just FYI - here is the full "Safety Time Out" Proposal:

Any head coach may call a Safety Time Out. Both Head coaches and the Game Officials will meet in the center of the court. The Head coach will state why he/she feels that player safety is not acceptable. The opposing head coach will be asked if they agree or disagree with the claim. If both coaches agree then the officials are bound to correct their actions. Play will resume for 2 minutes of game time before a safety time out can be called again.
I love the part in red. Let's make officiating basketball games a democratic affair.

"Ref, we both agree, you are not calling this game properly. Call more fouls or you don't get paid. Oh but only call them on the other team." Oh Lordy....

Maybe they can consider an "Ask the Audience" rule next year.
