Ramifications for requesting too many timeouts

[Smitty]

If it's a running clock league like the one I officiate in the fall, the main reason the games use a running clock is to keep the 10 or so games played on the same court on schedule - basically to guarantee that you can start games on the hour. If you decided to call a timeout at every dead ball, you would not only irritate just about everyone involved in your game, but also the dozens of people who have games scheduled behind yours.
