Maybe others can learn my lesson the easy way

[Ralph Stubenthal]

Just about every official I know including myself has gotten into some kind of trouble since they allowed coaches to call timeouts. It is a bad situation. I had to T up a coach last year because of it. At a dead ball, he came up screaming at us for not granting his TO because he said he had been calling for one for several minutes. I had vaguely heard some sort of request but the game was too hot to turn and find out who it was and what they wanted. It is one rule I wish that they would discard.
