And that is per rule 5-1-1.

Strictly speaking, who cares?

I've been hesitating to add my two cents on this topic, after reading so many IMO, and wise remarks, I felt appropriate to throw mine in. I think this is a good topic just based on feedback, We all seem to have different ways on what works for us, I also have read many interprtation on what the rules states, I guess everyone could and would treated it different. It all basically comes down to what works best for each individual irregardless what is right and what is wrong. Just know if you don't follow the rule, that you are willing to take the heat etc...I am thankful that I treated the similar situation a different number of ways and lucky enough I haven't got bitten in the A$$. Although you'll never be wrong if you follow the rule..I was actually at a game a couple of years ago, close score, The coach asked for TO after the make the Ref looked right at him and didn't nod, wink, wave or even say TO, the official continued play and the coach ripped a new one. Just the way the ball bounces. The coach did eventualy call a time out after the second FT. But he was a split second from getting a T.
