Ethical?

[Brian Watson]

You don't seem to mention if the player request is visual (T signal) or just verbal. I think it is unfair to the opposing team to "let" the officials in on a specific play, as well as unfair (and unethical)for the officials to try and determine or rememeber when the play called. Either way I give them the timeout. If the coach protests, too bad. I would rather play fair, then be part of a shady play. I would also seek the opinion of the state assoc.
