I'm sure that many on this forum would tell both coaches to ask them at the appropriate time and then have a time-out request contest between the two coaches to see who requests it first!!!

I had a coach setup in the spread this weekend, just running time off the clock. The other team refused to come out and guard him, so he just ran the time off - and then said to me, "I'm going to run it down to 7 and then I want a time-out."

There was about 7:40 on the clock... When it got down to 7:00 do you think that I asked him to request it from me again? No.

You should have. If you give him the TO @ the 7:00 mark, sure as hell he wanted it @ 0:07 instead.

All the more reason to ask him for the signal at the appropriate time.
