I hardly jumped on him. I don't really care if you think it's petty. At the lower levels, the kids aren't as savvy to think about calling timeout when they are on the floor with the ball and it's about to be tied up - the coach is usually the one who calls timeout in that situation. The varsity kids are a little smarter and will do this quite often.
