Thanks guys. I would rather you get the direction right first, especially after two incidents of refs getting the inbounding team wrong this year as well (it has really been a strange year - I haven't had these things in bunches before!). So I should be sure that you have it right when you are reporting it.
On our side, once we've called it, we are going through a million things as well, so it kinda works both ways. If I am calling a time out, there is definitely a reason and that is where I am focused. Except in clock management situations at end of games, I will end every game with 3-4 TOs. I am not a heavy user - I save them in case we have a tight finish. So a TO from me means I got lots on my mind!
But I clearly see how this can happen to an official given tha they are covering a lot in their head as the TO is called. So I just need to be aware of watching you report and taking a little bit of time before jumping into my TO huddle.
