All in fun.
Well, if I saw a TO signal as in the original post, he's sureashell gonna be charged with that TO.

If there is doubt/confusion, I'll give a coach the benefit of the doubt/confusion. But if I hear "TO" and also see a TO signal, I ain't gonna say "nevermind" and fail to follow the rules just to avoid a possible argument. That's weak officiating imo.
