Just another example why the NF never should have changed the rule to allow a head coach to request a timeout from the bench.
Our association actually told us to look to the bench if we think there is a probability the coach may want one at any point in a game, like when the other team just went on a "run". Now we have to be psychic and divert our attention from floor action just to check from time to time. About 3 weeks ago, my partner did just that after a basket and missed a shove in the back (no, not against him - against a player). "Fortunately", I was turned around the wrong way and saw it.
This rule stinks. Is that plain enough?
