I'm in line for all of this, but as the C I'm calling this a lot on a good disciplined press. With this specific play and the game being so close and easily decided on a single play, I'm not ignoring the coach. I'm not focusing on him, but you know when a time out is coming from a good coach within the second, usually.
Even when the Lead calls the TO it's a good idea to be aware of what's going on, given it won't distract you from the play you're watching.
