Not necessarily but sometimes it is easier for a coach to see that his inbounder is about to hit 5 seconds than it is for the inbounder who is worried about finding someone to pass to in time.

I get the reasoning for wanting the change but don't know if I agree with it.

I'd like to see the game to be played by the players with the coach only making coaching decisions, not directly affecting the game.

I agree and this change is minor in the bigger picture.

Taking a timeout is a coaching decision.

Yes, but they muddy the water by yelling from a place where the people granting that timeout are not focused in their direction. And then getting upset when they are not heard or understood. Anything that takes the focus away from the court IMO is really not a good thing. But I will say at least this restricts this to the possibility when action is not moving and an official in the area that hears and knows who is making the request.

I disagree, if the ball is live. Play is in progress, let the players play it out or call the timeout themselves. Allowing the coach to call a timeout during a live ball is being involved in the play.

I started back in the day when only players could call a timeout.

I like things much better now. I hope they *never* take the right away from HS coaches.

Don't like the change...

I think this falls into "they gotta change something..."

It falls into the category of the coaches weren't happy with the rule
