The other comments are reasonable, esp with regards to communication.

I had a situation today where an offensive player calls a time-out. In Canadian rules, that's not a call that can be changed. However, the Umpire called an illegal procedure for an O-lineman breaking a three-point stance - and the he wasn't the guy calling the time out - before the time out call was made.

Ergo, illegal procedure on the offense, and offense gets the time out they wanted.
