Figure this one out

Remember the Chris Webber Michigan sixth TO in an NCAA championship game? What do you think would have happened to the careers of the officials on that game if they hadda followed your advice and said "OK, we'll ignore the call"?

Not very good advice, socal, not at all.

One question you didn't answer: If you grant a timeout to a coach that has none remaining and he/she says he didn't call it, are you issuing a technical foul, since according to your logic, the timeout has already been granted?

That question has absolutely nothing to do with what we're discussing. It's not relevant in any way. In the play being discussed, there is NO doubt that the TO was requested. That's why I ignored this question.

Having said that, my answer to the above is "it depends".
