That's true only if he actually blew the whistle to give the "T". If he blew the whistle to grant the TO request,by rule you then can't assess a "T". You can't blow your whistle for one reason and then change your mind later as to why you blew the whistle.

Why'd you blow your whistle, ref?"
"For either a timeout or a "T". Gotta think about it."

It's a straight-forward play. There's no need to play games with it.

This shouldn't happen. As an Official you should check each time the ball is inbounded to make sure they have the correct amount of players.

If somehow it does get missed, if the coach called the timeout you cannot call the T. The 6 players must be discovered while the ball is live.

Your partner kicked the call.

Thats why you whack first & ask questions later. Twweet T, coach you still want a t/o?

Seriously though, yeah, we have to do the small things correctly!!

Fair enough.
