I was once told by a big time D-1 ref at a camp that if I know a team is out of time-outs, I should "count ceiling tiles" if they try to call another one. (In other words, pretend like I don't see it).

I don't buy that philosophy (but obviously it works for him).

Most of the gyms I work don't have ceiling tiles.

A coach would have to be a real moron to keep calling them after one T, though. If his club is behind, not a great way to catch up, no matter how much strategy is discussed. If his club is ahead, a great way to choke away a lead.
