It's not a drastic change to the game. it's not as if we're asking for the FIBA rule. And crews mess this up very rarely. Normally, a coach is crying because we don't acknowledge a TO request made while we HAVE to be watching the action instead of him.

Make the players call it during live balls, and all this goes away. Hell, if the coaches would teach players to mirror their requests, this would go away as well.
