Please don't do this.

"Coach,if you want a TO,make sure that you're in a position where we can see or hear you,or make sure that one of your players requests it".

Agree with Dan.Never give a TO out unless you get a proper request.The rules do NOT allow for any other procedure. I'll look but I won't ask.I will use the above,if a coach tells me that he wants a TO after a FT,etc. He's gotta ask WHEN he wants it.

okay, here is how the conversation went.

Offical- "coach, it is pretty loud out here, are you going to want a time out after the free throws?"

Me- "yes I am going to want one if the seoond shot goes in."

Official - "Okay I'll be sure to look for your signal because I won't be able to hera you."

both coaches still had to signal for the timeout, the asking was to make sure so they would look over, because neither would be able to hear.
