I wanted some honest opinions like yourself on this thread.

Are you asking for opinions on why he did not call the timeout or are you asking if you should have called the timeout? Those are two different things.

If you think there is something you could have done to not have the coach complain, that is not going to happen. Coaches complain if you call everything the way they want as long as it does not hurt their team. The timeout was called, not sure what you could do more than that.

Rut, Fred never asked us why his partner didn't call the TO. I asked him why his partner didn't call it. Maybe you just got the two posts confused.

Why didn't you ask him? That way, no one would be confused.

If you guys read Fred's post he mentioned that he asked his partner. He didn't see or hear it.

My question is why did you feel it necessary to have a delayed whistle? It's not like calling a foul in someone else's primary. Last second situation we should be on the alert for time-out requests and call them as soon as we properly recognize and verify the request.

JMHO.

You are absolutely correct. I was a little late and assumed that he was going to blow. I was wrong. I should have blown it when I saw it. I guess thinking about it, I was as laid back about it as he was...
