The time out request in the 2nd video was not made from the bench. It came from an Iowa player in the lane. Had the C not bailed out of the play, perhaps he could have seen or heard the TO request. Also, the T would not have had to close in on the play so hard and might have been in a better position to see the out of bounds.

Personally, I think it would've looked worse for the crew to miss this.

Edit -- as far as the timeout goes, isn't this a great example of why it's better to allow the coach to call a timeout?

Actually, I don't really care what the NCAA decides on this, but it just shows that eliminating the coaches from calling them doesn't eliminate issues around them.
