Just last week had a player (HS freshman) turn to me after her team got a rebound and say, "Time out, ref," pointing at a shoe in her hand. So I granted it, knowing she just wanted me to pause the game so she could get fixed up and continue.
Her coach, almost predictably, started in on me from across the court with a hot, "I didn't call time out!" and I just pointed to her point guard, who was limping off the court. Things quieted down pretty quickly, though I'm sure the coach (and no doubt the fans behind me) still were pretty certain there should have been a "courtesy" time out.
