Can't Request A Time Out During A Live Ball Unless ...

I am. "Coach, I'll be sure to listen for you to yell time out when you want it."

I'm sure that many will disagree, but that's the way I roll, and I haven't had a coach complain about it in thirty-five years.

5-8-3: Time-out occurs and the clock, if running, shall be stopped when an official: Grants a player’s/head coach’s oral or visual request for a time-out,
such request being granted only when:
a. The ball is at the disposal or in control of a player of his/her team.
b. The ball is dead, unless replacement of a disqualified, or injured player(s),
or a player directed to leave the game is pending, and a substitute(s) is
available and required.
