If my kid was stumbling and ready to travel or turnover the ball I could see that the 'time out" would have benefited my team.

I reminded him that he was the only one in the gym that thought I needed a timeout with my kid unobstructed to the hoop with 3 seconds left.

He could've admitted he heard it wrong and given us the ball.

In the end, we lost a layup and a timeout.

LOL!! That doesn't sound all that jerk-y by you. Leaving players on the floor, refusing to acknowledge TO isn't bad at all!

And then what happened? Did you end up winning? And did you talk to the ref's supervisor? And what level was it? I'm enjoying this scenario (from the comfort and safety of my sick-bed at home!)
