Coaches need to be "big" in these situations, standing and yelling.

No rule that says she has to, but it would have helped here.

I agree, they often help create the issue. If you are calling a timeout be visible and get off the floor.

And even the dribbler seemed like she was in between doing things as well, which did not help. But you cannot call something you do not see. You just cannot. He guessed and called what was "funny" looking and it was. But do better and get closer to the play. It is girls basketball, he could have gotten close or been at least beside her.

I hate it when things happen like this.

Agree.

... plant a pivot foot, hold the ball firmly, and request (orally and/or visually) a timeout.
