That's not an unreasonable question, and the answer is: b/c whether he really "wanted" the TO or not, the TO accomplishes what the player really did want, which is to stop the clock, or "slow things down" as you put it. So you grant the TO, which accomplishes what the player wanted. Unfortunately, the price of stopping the clock in that situation is a T.
