I saw a similar situation last night in the BV that I was watching. Coach ran down almost to the endline screaming time out. Reff granted the time out. Other coach was screaming for a technical since he was way out of his box. No T was given and rightfully so. Friend sitting next to me asked what I would do and I said exactly what was done. This is good game management in my opinion. When a close game gets down to the last minute or so, I go around to my partners and remind them to watch the coaches requesting time out.
