All this you just stated, I would not have done this way. I would have told them and pointed to off the court and made sure the player left the area. If a coach would have suggested he wanted a timeout, I still would have been standing there insisting or imploring that this would all need to be done off the court. Usually the player starts running to the doors or off the court to do this. To me if you just tell them something and walk away, shame on you for not giving the proper information. But if they happen to change on the court, then you have the ability to give a T, but it should never come to that in the first place.

Peace
