One Player, Four Timeouts

After the fourth timeout I went to the coach and told him that he had one timeout left but that only #2 could call it....the coach started to laugh and told me that he probably wasn't going to be on All-Conference Academic Team.

My skills in getting and reporting the number on a timeout have waned considerably since coaches started calling 95% of them. I had a player trapped last week and lost the number between the timeout and reporting it. Whoops.
