In my case, being hearing-impaired, I tell the coaches that if I'm in front of your bench and I don't hear you
requesting time out, feel free to come onto the court to tap me on the shoulder and say "time-out". But if they come on for any other reason, automatic T from me. I will not let them abuse that little bit o' freedom.
EDIT: corrected.
