Brad,

I am going to have to disagree with you on this one. I am not giving a TO without the coach actually making the request at the proper time. I tell them, "You need to ask me when the shot goes." I do not want someone to think I gave him a break or that they did not ask. I have never had a problem with this application. It is kind of like when in baseball a coach tells you he will a half inning from now reenter the starter before he subs in a player. I let them know what they need to do and we move on. I have never had a problem with a coach telling them this.

Peace
