WORST mechanic in Basketball

The end of timeout mechanic is horrible. It is as if it is designed to make the ref look like a stooge to the crowd. Look at it from the crowd point of view: You jog across the court, and try to communicate with a coach surrounded by players in a tight scrum, so it's like you are right back at the jr. high dance, standing on the wall, being ignored. Then you stand there being ignored for a while, and the coach breaks when the coach wants to break. Why do they have us insert ourselves into the team moment-- seems very counter to good officiating theory. There are some things in it that make sense if you understand the nuance, but to the fans we just look like idiots.
