Never had this happen?

Just a coupla technical points from the rules:

1) You can't call a technical foul for an elbow unless the ball was dead at the time. Even then, it would have to be an intentional or flagrant technical foul if contact was involved. If the elbow occurred during a live ball, it's a violation if the elbow misses, and a personal foul of some kind (PC, TC, common, intentional, flagrant) if the elbow connects.

2) There's no thinking as to whether you would grant the time-out or not. If the request is made while the ball is dead or in her team's possession, you have to grant that coach's request. You can't turn it down except for some very specific circumstances at the start or end of a game or an overtime period.
