I see what you are saying here and I am sure that we have people out there who would call TIME being asked by a coach between innings. I make it a point of not doing this. When there is a stop in the action (such as a change at the end of an inning, when a coach asks for TIME, I simply respond "There is no need at this point". You'll see this a lot at the lower levels.... foul ball and the coach wants TIME to talk to the batter. Not needed.
