Good advice, but what I wonder is why players simply don't mirror their coach when calling time out? If they know their coach wants a T.O., help the coach out a little.

This hasn't happened, hardly at all anyway, since they gave the coach's the ability to request a TO. Players just don't mirror it.

I've actually been mentioning this is my pregame the last couple of years, to both coaches and captains. It is not catching on.

Let The Good Times Roll ...
Most, but not all, basketball officials played some type of organized basketball. That said, most officials should be able to anticipate when a coach might request a timeout. Opposing team goes on a 12-2 run. Or, team is down a few points with less than two minutes to go. Be sure to look at the coach after the other team scores a basket. Rules and mechanics don't demand that we do this, but good officials will always do this.

Maybe they're not listening. Try adding a joke first.
