Amen.
Call
Pronunciation: \ˈkȯl\
Function: verb
To speak in a loud distinct voice so as to be heard at a distance : shout to make a
request : to utter in a loud distinct voice.
Enough. Please.
When a coach, or player, speaks "time out" in a loud distinct voice so as to be heard at a distance, or when a coach, or player, shouts "time out" making a request for a time out, or when a coach, or player utters "time out" in a loud distinct voice, in all three cases they are calling time out, and if the ball is in control or at the disposal of a player of his/her team, or the ball is dead, unless replacement of a disqualified, or injured player(s), or a player directed to leave the game is pending, and a substitute(s) is available and required, then I'm granting them a time out.
