Neither! It is the responsibility of the coach and players to get the attention of the officials when they want a TO. It seems that this coach figured out how to do that quite well.
I love it when I can spark 3 pages on this board and it's not even bball season! I purposely worded that post to incite members and elicit some responses.
Please don't misunderstand my position, since I am all for game awareness. Knowing the score, the clock, and situations in the game when TOs are likely to be called is great and I have been told by quite a few vets that I am excellent at it.
However, if a random TO request is missed at somepoint in the middle of the game because the officials' attention is directed to action on the court, I believe that responsibility falls on the team and its coach for failing to make their request recognized.
