The other one I have seen is when a kid rises up and makes a cross court pass and the coach tries to call time out while its in the air. Sorry Coach.

But there's still team control! :p:rolleyes:

Coach tried to convince me it wasn't when it was called by the coach but when I blew the whistle.... I believe my comments was "That's not accurate Coach".

True story, girls' VAR years ago in Michigan, and a two-person crew. Visitors are down three with less than 30 seconds to play. V-PG brings the Ball up court, Table Side. My partner is T, Table Side. V-HC is behind my partner and requests a TO. My partner turns his head toward V's Bench to verify V-HC's TO request. As my partner sounds his whistle for the TO, V-PG has already released at 3pt FGA that touches nothing but net. :eek: The Visitor's never came close to tying the game after their TO.

Or should it be, "Sorry, coach. You were granted the timeout before the shot attempt."

That's what this thread is all about. Right?

But you need player control to call a TO. Just like I never ever grant TO's in a scrum situation the player needs to have clear control to call a TO.

Okay...

"Sorry coach, you requested and were granted the timeout before the shot attempt."

I think the "requested" part is important because it points out that "hey, you're the one that called the timeout, so don't get pissy with me."
