Maybe we could use this on coaches......

GV game monday. Home team is pathetic. The winning JV team on Wednesday would boat race them. HC not happy. 1:30 into the first quarter he calls a Full time out. 3:00 minutes later he calls his second.

About 2:00 later one of his girls comes up to me and says, "Can I have a time out?" :eeek: Sure. Tweet! "Time OUt White. #4. 30 seconds."

Head Coach says"WHAT!!!!!!!! I didn't call a time out!"

"No coach your #4 did."

Turns out #4 wasn't asking for a time out but wanted an Officials time out to tie her shoe. He wanted to argue that I should not have granted it. I askled him, "Coach exactly what did you say to me when I granted your first time out? 'Can I have a time out?' Thats exactly what she said. As I constantly explain to my wife, I'm not a mind reader."

He did smile at that.

I don't have a rule, or any other citation, but can't we rescind the timeout and just allow her to tie her shoe? I sure hope so. If a player with an untied shoe comes up to me and asks if I can stop the game to allow him to tie his shoe, if his team is holding, or dribbling the ball, I'm probably allowing it. Safety first.

I wouldn't rescind it, and I wouldn't stop the game in the situation you describe. Tellthe kid to go ahehad and tie the shoe.

Again, I didn't know thats what she wanted. I don't make it a habit to look at a player's shoes when they request a time out.

It's True, It's True, you are supposed to look at the pants and then puke on the shoes.
