doghead,

If Blue had the ball when the TO was requested and you recognized the request, what happens after that is inmaterial. It's Blue's TO and their ball after the TO. Think about this. A player saves the ball from going OOB. While in the air he requests TO. He lands OOB before you grant his request. Is this his fault? No, it's not. Are you going to give him the TO? Yes, you are. It's the same principle.

I don't like the rule that allows coaches to call TO. We've discussed some of the reasons why here. Coaches have to understand that you would handle this sitch the same way every time, no matter who has the ball.
