I do recall that I called "coaches" dumb for limiting how timeouts are called based on this rule. If that bothers you then that is your problem, because I would say the same thing to her face and to a room full of coaches. The rule does not require only coaches to request a timeout, the rules does allow players to make the same request. It is stupid when you know officials are not looking at you the same why they are with the player.
