As for what we call it. I don't agree that it matters. It is NOT the same as "reaching in", "over the back", etc. Those miscommunicate what happens in a way that is detrimental...implying what could be an entirely legal act as being illegal. We could call such a stoppage a respite, a lull, a break, or any other synonym for all anyone would care and it would never make a difference.

It is even more irrelevant of an argument than worrying about whether a coach requests or calls timeout and on par with whether you call it an endline or a baseline.

I can't disagree with you more.....In this situation, you give him the T even HE expects, and then give him counseling (if you so desire.) He knows he earned the T, and he will disrespect you for not giving it to him...IMHO....

Of course a player can be frustrated. S/he also need to handle the frustration properly and deal with the consequences if s/he doesn't.

This struck me. I bet Billy Mac gets it.

I am not saying or trying to to argue that anyone else shouldnt call the T if they want, I have just been expressing what I would do and my reasoning for it. Just because I disagree with how someone will handle a situation doesn't mean I will criticize their choice and what they did. You can have 2 "good" options on how to handle 1 situation with 2 completly different outcomes.
