Late Time outs

[Jurassic Referee]

Dan,I can see where you're coming from.It IS easy to explain to the B coach.You just tell him you recognised the TO request before you blew the whistle to grant it.Not much that he can argue there.The problem I still have is this particular case where I KNOW I shouldn't be granting the TO,by rule.I also know that there is a possibility that I might affect the outcome of the game by granting a TO that I shouldn't have.I've never had a problem making a tough call at the end of the game.I just want to know,in my mind,that I've made the right call.
Maybe I'm being way too anal on this.I'd sure like to see what some other guys on the Board think.
