True Confession:
First half. A gets trapped in FC (away from the bench). B puts hands on ball and I call "held ball" just as I hear Coach A yelling for a TO (she had kind of a soft voice). B has the arrow, so as I run past Coach A, she asks, "Didn't you hear me ask for the TO?"
I replied, "Not until after the held ball. I'm not saying you didn't ask earlier, only that I didnt' hear it earlier."
She seems satisfied.
Second half, loose ball on the floor in A's BC (again, away from the bench). A dives on the ball and as B approaches I *clearly* hear a female voice from the general direction of A's bench, "Time Out." I look to the bench and Coach A is looking directly at me. So, I blow the whistle and grant the TO.
Coach A says, "We didn't request a TO."
effme.
So, we had an inadvertant whistle and A keeps the ball.
