Coach can call a to rule

The problem with the rule allowing a coach to request a time-out is not the fact that it's allowed, but rather the resulting actions of the coach when the request is missed.

I agree totally, and don't think it should be an issue. Referee's should feel comfortable in talking to the coach when appropriate and then moving on. If the coach doesn't move on, you know what to do. Don't think I'm the kind of guy who whacks on a whim, but technicals are excellent tools in the arsenal. Peace.
