No one said it was hard. There are just people that feel life is not going to hell in a hand basket if it is not done. There are a lot of things we do as officials that are required and there are many things we do that are required. I do not see this as an essential part of my job and no one I have ever come in contact with really cares about this other than people on this site. And if the coaches I deal with do not seem to put me with this kind of ultimate responsibility, I certainly am not going to care if I give a T for telling them or not. BTW, if a request for a timeout is made, I am giving the T no matter how they find out. I am not looking the other way. And I am certainly not getting upset if this happens. Just because you tell a coach something, does not mean a player will not have a brain fart and still request a timeout.
