Coaches who want TO's in the final minute of a quarter tend to be quite demonstrative.
I wish this were always the case. I've had soooo many "cool cucumber" coaches who will stand up, glance my way, quietly say "time out" and not even make a gesture, other than to tuck their shirt tail in. Give me something to work with, please.
