Coach can call a to rule

You guys are over looking the problem. It's not the semantics of calling a TO verses requesting one. It's the fact that coaches think the TO should be granted when the yell, no matter the situation.

Who cares what coaches think? They think a lot of things that are completely wrong. They think we are supposed to talk to them no matter what as well. I do not care what coaches think. Officials should feel the same.

IMHO, it puts the coaches in a position they shouldn't be in- it puts them in the game and on the floor! We don't need that.

There are a lot of things we do not need, but they happen. I was opposed to this rule when they put it in. I have just adjusted my thinking and accept that it is here to stay. They have even changed the rules in other sports I work to mirror this. If a coach complains, you explain what the dilly-oh is.

Peace
