TO situation

[ronald]

You heard the words time out from a person who had the authority to request one and you granted it. I think he may have pulled a fast one on your crew. You state that the player was having trouble getting rid of the ball and let's assume a five second call is in progress. Let's add who was he telling time out to if we score in that situation. Plus he was in your ear. You tweet immediately and he goes if we score. You made your decision but from the description I think he pulled a fast one. It will serve me to be prepared for something like this in the future.

I'm new to the forum although I have posted a few replies earlier. It is great to get various insights from other officials on how to handle various situations.
