No timeouts...but coach wants one

[jeffpea]

My best advice is to give the coach "one chance" to request a TO that he doesn't have - then grant him the TO if he asks again.

Here's what I mean: I can easily "not see" or "not hear" his initial request; but if he is persistent in wanting it - aka asking a 2nd or 3rd time - THEN I'm going to grant it. I can't avoid the TO if everyone in the gym sees/knows that he wants the TO.

It is not appropriate for me to deny the other team the advantage gained by that situation. I can "help" a little - but not too much.
