One Player, Four Timeouts

"I didn't call timeout!"

"At least 2 players did coach."

All the players denied it.

Which is why we need to remember the number of the player.

Need is a strong word. It's not like it didn't happen if we don't have the number. Same thing as the coach screaming for the number of a fouling player on the football field....

I have had several this month. More than in the last several years combined. One I remember a few years ago really flummoxed the table personnel as they were expecting the C sign. V officials cracked up at the table reaction.

One this year saved the game for his team. Halfcourt trap with 6 seconds left and a tie score. They ended up winning at the buzzer.

I had to say it... M&M put me up to it!
