Maybe where you work, but around here a lot of nefarious things jump off away from the ball.
As the new Lead (especially in 2-man) I'm keeping my eyes on the pack, not watching to see when the ball crosses halfcourt so I can grant a time-out that was requested 10 seconds earlier. How about the coach directing his request to the new Trail who will crossing the division line with the ball handler?
Otherwise the coach is taking the risk of getting a time-out granted while the ball is still in the backcourt, similar to
JRut's scenario.
