But I agree with the rest, once you grant the time out it is granted. You can't take it back.
I'm with big joe. This could have been avoided with some preventive officiating. Knowing the TO situation and conveying the information to your partner(s) is important to game management.
i agree, but were not mind readers, we cant tell what hes thinking (time out or technical foul) i mean its almost a universal signal for time out. so... when a coach is going off and we give him the STOP sign , does that mean for him to give us a high 5???just by telling him he has no time outs or telling your partner doesnt change the fact he wanted that T called on that particular player. it doesnt have a bearing towards the play. he just did soemthign stupid, and paid the price for it.
