Coach wants a timeout...

Sigh, it never stops......

As usual, you are completely wrong, rules-wise.

We are not taught that in NFHS. Or NCAA either We are not taught that because it goes completely against what is already in the freaking rule book. If a coach requests a TO while his team has player control or the ball is dead, you grant the damn request. It doesn't matter when this happens during any period, including the last 5 seconds.

Again, if you don't own rule books or understand the rules, you shouldn't be making comments on the rules.

Relax, it's just a comment, not the end of the world.
