And the timeout was wanted in a very non-standard time where we'd be actively looking to the bench to see a request.
And yet, this was our fault.
I almost cried as I consoled myself in my post-game beer.

All the more reason for education.
Had similar earlier this year. Coach wanted a timeout and didn't get it. I told her, "when the gym is loud, I can't hear you. But maybe I will see you - so give the TO signal and be out in the open with it."
