White has the ball and "I" give Blue a Timeout?

[BigDave]

I agree with BktBallRef. The only thing I'll add is this. When you have a situation like that, it really keeps the heat off of you when you "sell" the timeout. As soon as you recognized the coach calling timeout, give a couple quick tweets on the mighty whistle and give a verbal "Timeout Blue!!" This will let all involved know that you had the TO before possession changed.

good luck
