In the case book play, it is obvious that the umpire granted time. Nowhere in the test question does it say that time was granted. The umpire might well do as CecilOne says and caution the manager that he will have to remove the pitcher.

Just because the manager says, "Time out, Blue. I want to go out on the field and confer with my players," doesn't mean a defensive conference is to be charged.

I agree that ASA probably meant to duplicate the case book question but simply copied it incorrectly.
