Requesting timeout on layup situation???

[SC Official]

If the home coach hears the visiting coach request timeout and you don't grant it and the layup is made, you're going to hear about it.

As long as you're 100% sure that V coach requested TO and his player was in control, grant it. If it takes away an easy layup, he has no one to blame but himself.

Now, if you're focused and just miss the request, that happens. But don't ignore it because "they were about to score a layup." Some officials would buy into that philosophy and I think that's ludicrous. Probably the same officials that would turn a blind eye to a team requesting TO when it has none left.
