I would NOT recommend the "reminder" I-am-looking-for-you- to-request-a-TO chat.

I would recommend that you stress the need for a distintive visual request in your pre-game meeting with the coaches.

Granted, the majority of the games I work I can hear just about every word the coach speaks. However, I have had games which involved a soft-spoken coach and a loud crowd. In one case, the soft-spoken coach requested a TO, verbally only, and it was missed.

When she approached me about her frustration, I suggested that she add a visual cue to her request, such as a "T" or a closed fist. She responded "and I stood up too!" Unfortunately, she was standing at various times throughout the game.
