Re: No 'Coaches calling timeout'

I hate it. It only brings pain. I try to never give the time out till I have turned and identified the request as coming from the head coach(high school). I am reluctant to turn my head from live action, so this can take a good 3-4 seconds, even more. That's the way it goes. How do I know it isn't the drunk in row 2, or the other coach? I don't. I got burned with that last thought one time, believe it or not.
I agree. Or at least limit the times they can do this. I had a few situations this year where it was very unclear who was requesting the timeout. A couple of those situations were right before 10 second counts and my back was turned to the coach. I wish they would change this rule, but they will not unfortunately.


Peace
