1. I have no problem whatsoever with the action of the timer. Anyone who does is missing the big picture. The HC made the timer aware that he wanted a time-out. That's the bottom line here.
2. I would think that the HC would simply tell the table personnel to give him a time-out. I seriously doubt that he would specify that it was for an error situation. Since the table personnel doesn't know why the HC is requesting the time-out through them, they would have to assume it is being done under 2-10 and follow that procedure--meaning to signal the officials. The HC doesn't have to lie/cheat at all. He just doesn't get specific.
