NFHS. Time Out

Around here we signal a coach's request with our fingers in the shape of a "C". Do we have to signal a player's number?

Billy:

I was the official to which the request was made both times. I relayed the player's number to Junior and he asked the HC as to whether he wanted a 30 second or full TO, and then reported the TO to the Scorer and Timer along with the player's number.
