I know that, but I was just trying to make the point that there was also a lag time encompassing different dead ball periods as well.

Haven't you ever heard the phrase, "Always trust your first instinct?"

I don't know how "official" the S&I book is; I've never actually used it. But I don't disagree with it as much because it doesn't say at what point during the first 30 the coach asks for the next TO. The request isn't made "following" the first TO, but I'm willing to do the same thing as before, "Coach, give me a confirmation once the horn goes off ending this one first." I would certainly disagree with it if it said the coach requested both a 30 AND a full at the same time.
