Someone other than you or your partner's. You always grant them, no matter what!!! But I will say if an assignor tried to put my feet to the fire and say not grant them, I might then just call the timeout and if he does not want me to work for him based on that one thing, I will move on.

I feel properly fileted! A couple of things: 1. The key to the whole discussion is knowledge of the TO situation. If I don't know or have doubt, I give it too them in a hurry. If I do know they are out I w a i t a w h i l e before granting. 2. Ifit is EXTREMELY obvious (in my game it wasn't) that they are calling TO I don't think I have a choice. You can always go back to th UM/UNC Chris Webber TO as one that is obvious and had to be granted. But what if it was Steve Fisher asking for a TO and the players kept playing?
Either way it is a dicy situation.
