Why no time out?

[WarpedOne]

Chuck...I'm not trying to be difficult and this kind of changes the topic but why, with your claim of always knowing why TO's are being called, would you grant a TO to a team with none without making sure they want one first? Generally when this happens it's at the end of a game when everything is frenetic and a player unwittingly calls a TO to try to slow things down. Probably 99.9% of these are done with the player not knowing/realizing/remembering that there are none left and had they known this they would NOT have called time out. With your knowing that they would not have done this, why isn't this player ever asked if he's sure? If the ball's dead, this seems like one of the most obvious places to ask but I've never seen this not called a T.

I'm guessing Chris Webber would like to have that one in the ncaa finals back.
