Timeout question!

In his earlier post he said if you grant it they take it. So he did address the issue. His other point is also accurate, if you look at the coach and get verification, you don't have this problem.

In my game last night, Team B scores to make it a 2-point game or so. Team A inbounds the ball dribbles to about the foul line in their backcourt. Coach A stands up, looks right at me and forms a T with his hands.

Tweet! Time-out white!

He says, "I didn't want a time-out! That's the name of a play!"

"Sorry, Coach. Might want to find a new name for it. Time-out, white."

Turns out he was looking at the point guard, but I was so close to her, I thought he was looking at and talking to me.

the 5-out play out to be outlawed, or at least the name for it LOL

I had a similar sitch happen a in GV game this year. Coach forms a T with her hands, while looking right at me, and being pressured in the backcourt. Turns out T stood for tiger. She eat the timeout, and I informed her she needed a new signal for that play. After the game one of the assistants told me that she had that happen two other times this year.

Would this be different under NCAA rules? I month or two back there was a game involving Wisconsin and someone else on ESPN. One official granted a timeout to the other team after hearing a request from the bench area and they went to a comercial. After they returned the announcers explained that the HC had told the official that he did not request a timeout and that they did not want a timeout. It was ruled an IW and the game was stopped for a media timeout. Does anyone else remember this happening?

Yeah, the commentators came right out of the commericial and tried to glitz over the explanation like even they didn't understand or like it.
