It was not a time-saving situation, so an extra two seconds running off didn't matter, but his reaction struck me as strange.
Had a coach the other day yell at his point guard all the way down the floor, "Take your time! Take your time!". Then, he got mad and glared at me when it took a second to realize he had changed to calling "Time! Time! Time!"

He also got mad at my partner later when she didn't call a travel....fast enough. One of those weird ones that your whistle pauses while your brain says, "did he really do that?"
