[A Pennsylvania Coach]

In that situation, it should've been easy for the coach to communicate his timeout request earlier. If I know I'm going to want one, I'll say something like, "I'll call timeout on a make." I still ask for it as soon as the ball goes in, and he knows to look for it. If I can't get the officials' attention, I'll have one of my players go stand next to the trail official and tell him she will be calling a timeout when the shot is made or the rebound is secured.
