Why no time out?

BktBallRef...So now you're selectively psychic? You claim to know why TO is called but you don't know if he's aware that he has none left?

I can think of very few situations where a team would want to call a TO knowing that they don't have one and 99.9% of the players who call them are always dejected after learning there are none left.

Granted, the play I brought up was during a live ball and I doubt that you want to run up to a player and ask him if he really wants a TO in this situation.

So...let's go way off topic and assume...dead ball, player comes up to you signaling TO with none left and without, in your mind, a good reason to call one. ALL THE FANS SEE IT. Do you still ask him while knowing that everyone int the crowd is expecting the T?


Jurassic and dblref...not a Michigan fan at all; just the one that popped into my head.
