Actually, the conversation was a bit more awkward, and I wish it had gone as crisply and quickly as Juulie suggested.
Instead it was:
Coach: What's the call.
Me: Timeout Blue.
Coach: I didn't want a timeout, he hit the backboard. That's a T and you guys missed it.
Me: Coach, he was trying to block the shot, it's legal.
Coach: No, it's not.
Me: Coach, we're not getting into a rules debate.
Coach: Not in Colorado (referring to the actual rule, not the debate).
Me:
Coach: I'll take the timeout, 30.
