This one is not that hard and easy to stop.
When the coach calls 'dimeout', call a timeout. Or even better, whenever the coach requests a 'time-out', don't call it. Sorry coach, 'I thought you said dimeout!' Don't allow yourself to get caught where you have to decipher any and all words a coach may use.
I like that--call the time out anyway. Tell the coach you have an auditory processing disorder and that you couldn't hear the difference. Beforehand, though, when the coach told me about his ploy, I would simply tell him that his "play" is an attempt to deceive the other team, is not within the spirit of the rules, and would not be permitted. Then when I hear "dimeout," he gets a timeout. No need for a "T" here, and probably little justification for calling one since it can be more easily resolved in a less drastic way.
