I'll have to disagree with you there JRut. Yes it's the team's job to get our attention, but we have to have good game awareness to know when a timeout is going to be granted. An off official, especially opposite table should be able to glance away for a beat to catch the coach's request.

Like it was said earlier, it takes about a tenth of a second to glance over to the coach and see what he/she might be requesting. Also, smart officials should know when a timeout might be requested... whether it be a scoring run by the other team, after a made basket late in a close game, or a trap in the corner, etc. A good official should know the situation that the game is in, and be ready to respond to a coach's request for a TO.
I will continue to glance over at a coach while there is a live ball. It makes for a smoother game when the coach decides to request a TO.
